Poor Me
Fats Domino Lyrics
Woke up this mornin'
Feelin' low
Where my loved one used to live
She ain't there no more
Poor me
Why does bad luck fall on me?
Poor me
I'm livin' in misery
Is hard to tell
I'm not gonna kill myself
Though I might as well
Poor me
Why does bad luck fall on me?
Poor me
I'm livin' in misery
All I do
All day long
Fall down on my knees and pray
She'll come back home
Poor me
Why does bad luck fall on me?
Poor me
I'm livin' in misery
All I do
All day long
Fall down on my knees and pray
She'll come back home
Poor me
Why does bad luck fall on me?
Poor me
I'm livin' in misery

Dave Bartholomew*, one of the architects of rock and roll, passed away at the age of 100 on June 23rd, 2019...
He partnered with Fats Domino on early rock classics including co-writing “Ain’t That a Shame.” The New Orleans trumpeter, band leader, producer, songwriter, and arranger was involved in many iconic songs including “Lawdy Miss Clawdy,” “Blueberry Hill,” “I’m Walking,” and “I Hear You Knocking”...
Bartholomew was band leader for one of New Orleans premier R&B bands when he became an A&R man for Imperial Records. At Imperial, he brought in Fats Domino, working with him on combining R&B with big band, jazz, and country to create early rock and roll. Bartholomew was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1991...
May he R.I.P.
Mr. Bartolomew was a co-composer, along with Fats, of "Poor Me", and on December 15th, 1955 the record peaked at #1 {for 1 week} on Billboard's Most Played R&B Record by Jockeys chart...
And from the 'For What It's Worth' department; in 1952 Fats reached #10 with a record titled "Poor Poor Me"...
