In your example, you had forgotten to name the Voice context. Just
replace the
first line by
Voice = \new Voice = notes { c4 d8 d e4~ e }
and it seems to work as desired.
Another approach is to use the alignAboveContext property:
\score {
<<
\new Staff = myStave \relative c'{
\Voice
}
\new Lyrics \with {alignAboveContext = myStave } { \set associatedVoice
= "notes" \Words } % above
\new Lyrics { \set associatedVoice = "notes" \Words } % below
>>
}
Finally, I noticed that you didn't use the support for hyphens in
lyrics. Try
Words = \lyricmode { This4 does8 -- n't work4 __ " "}
to get a nicer result.

I enter lyrics not using \addlyrics or \lyricsto because my music is
too rhythmically complex. I use
\set AssociatedVoice in the Lyrics context to control melismata - thus
LyricExtender and LyricHyphen objects.
Problem: If I want to print the lyrics above the notes, the extenders
don't print - presumably because the named AssociatedVoice context
doesn't exist at the time when the lyrics are printed.
I can print the Lyrics below the text and then use an #'extra-offset
but it seems clumsy.
Suggestions please?! See attached file - comment in/ out "above" and
"below".
Many thanks,
Vivian.
