[00:01.29] Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir,
[00:06.12] So that every mouth can be fed.
[00:09.24] Poor me, Israelites.
[00:20.28] Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir,
[00:23.76] So that every mouth can be fed.
[00:26.37] Poor me, Israelites.
[00:33.24] My wife and my kids, they pack up and a leave me.
[00:36.63] "Darling," she said "I was yours to recieve."
[00:43.59] Poor me, Israelites.
[00:44.13] Shirt them a-tear up, trousers are gone.
[00:49.62] I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde.
[00:56.10] Poor me, Israelites.
[00:59.64] After a storm there must be a calming.
[01:02.73] You catch me in your farm, you sound your alarm.
[01:09.21] Poor me, Israelites.
[01:10.41] I said I get up in the morning, stabbing for bread, sir,
[01:29.22] So that every mouth can be fed.
[01:31.65] Poor me, Israelites.
[01:36.75] Said my wife and my kids, they pack up and a leave me.
[01:42.15] "Darling," she said "I was yours to recieve."
[01:49.08] Poor me, Israelites.
[01:51.12] Look, me shirt them a-tear up, trousers are gone.
[01:55.17] I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde.
[02:02.55] Poor me, Israelites.
[02:05.76] After a storm there must be a calming.
[02:08.34] You catch me in your farm, you sound your alarm.
[02:14.85] Poor me, Israelites.
[02:21.96] Poor me, Israelites.
[02:23.19] I'm wonder why I'm working so hard.
[02:24.90] Poor me, Israelites.
[02:29.43] I look down and out, sir.
