Lyrics

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
 So that every mouth can be fed
 Poor me Israelites, ah
 
 Get up in the morning, slaving for bread sir
 So that every mouth can be fed
 Poor me Israelite
 My wife and my kids
 They packed up and leave me
 Darling, she said, I was yours to be seen
 Poor me Israelites
 Shirt them a-tear up, trousers is gone
 I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde
 (Poor me Israelites) poor me Israelites
 After a storm there must be a calm
 They catch me in the farm
 You sound your alarm
 (Poor me Israelites) poor, a poor, a poor me Israelites, yee!
 I said I get up in the morning, slaving for bread sir
 So that every mouth can be fed
 (Poor me Israelites) a poor me Israelites
 I said my wife and my kids, they are packed up and leave me
 Darling, she said, I was yours to be seen
 Poor me Israelites sir
 Look me shirts them a-tear up, trousers are gone
 I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde
 (Poor me Israelites) a poor, a poor me Israelites sir
 After a storm there must be a calm
 They catch me in the farm you sound your alarm
 Poor me Israelites, yee!
 (Poor me Israelites) a poor, a poor, a poor, a poor
 Me Israelites da I'm a wondering, working so hard
 (Poor me Israelites) a poor, a poor
 A poor me Israelites a look down an miss her
 (Poor me Israelites) a poor, a poor me Israelites
