Lyrics

[00:00.27] Getting up in the morning,slaving for bread,sir
[00:05.27] So that every mouth can be fed
[00:09.10] Poor me,the Israelite,ah
[00:19.41] Get up in the morning,slaving for bread,sir
[00:22.94] So that every mouth can be fed
[00:25.90] Poor me,the Israelite
[00:32.34] My wife and my kids,they pack up and leave me
[00:36.12] Darling, she said, I was yours to be seen
[00:39.03] Poor,poor me,the Israelite
[00:45.35] Shirt them a-tear up,trousers are go
[00:48.81] I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde
[00:52.40] Poor me,the Israelite
[00:58.93] After a storm there must be a calm
[01:02.11] If they catch me in the farm,you sound your alarm
[01:05.34] Poor,poor,poor me,the Israelite,yee
[01:24.60] I said I get up in the morning,slaving for bread,sir
[01:28.30] So that every mouth can be fed
[01:31.25] Poor me,the Israelite,ah
[01:37.62] I said my wife and my kids,they pack up and leave me
[01:41.16] Darling, she said, I was yours to be seen
[01:44.69] Poor me,the Israelite
[01:50.54] Look,me shirt them a-tear up,trousers are go
[01:54.04] I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde
[01:57.37] Poor,poor me,the Israelite,ah
[02:03.87] After a storm there must be a calm
[02:07.10] If they catch me in the farm,you sound your alarm
[02:10.62] Poor,poor me,the Israelite,yee-ee-ee
[02:16.92] Poor,poor,poor,poor me,the Israelite
[02:22.07] I'm wondering and working so hard
[02:24.09] Poor,poor,poor,poor me,the Israelite
[02:28.13] I look down and out,sir
