lyrics

Woe Is Me Woe Is You

my doctor he smokes Lucky Strikes
a couple of packs a day
born and raised in Hollywood
he moved to San Jose
i kissed his daughter once or twice
but it never went further than that
she ran off to Cleveland
and took my favorite hat

woe is me, woe is you
feeling sad, you are too
things are bad, as you can see
woe is you, and woe is me

the 12:05 to Birmingham
pulled out at 1:03
when i arrived at Five Points South
my baby said to me
“Sammy you’re always late
if you even show up at all
you said you’d come last summer
and here it is next fall”

woe is me, woe is you
feeling sad, you are too
things are bad, as you can see
woe is you, and woe is me

there’s nothing in the frying pan
just gristle on the grill
all i can say is "oh nooo!"
till i sound like Mister Bill
i ordered up a t-bone steak
they brought me shortnin’ bread
then mammy’s little baby
came and hit me on the head

woe is me, woe is you
feeling sad, so are you
things are bad, as you can see
woe is you, and woe is me

i saw Elvis yesterday
that’s right he’s still alive
he’s working in a carpet store
on highway 95
he said “sir may i help you?”
i said “Elvis is that you?”
he said “please don't tell nobody
or i swear i’ll come kill you”

woe is me, woe is you
i feel sad, you do too
things are bad, as you can see
woe is you, and woe is me

guess i’d best be going now
i’ll see you round the way
i been a failure more than 50 years
i was a failure again today
the things that i’ve been doing wrong
i’m bound to do ‘em wrong again
but i’ll write you, honey, from wherever i’m going
if i can only find my pen

woe is me, woe is you
i feel sad, you do too
things are bad, as you can see
woe is you, and woe is me
woe is me, woe is me
woe is me, woe is me
i said woe is me, woe is me
woe is me, woe is me
woe is you, woe is me
i said woe is you, woe is me
woe is you and woe is me
