Lyrics:
Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me Israelites Aah
My wife and my kids, they packed up and leave me
Darling, she said, I was yours to be seen
Poor me Israelite
Shirt them a-tear up, trousers is gone
I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde
Poor me Israelite
After a storm there must be a calm
They catch me in the farm
You sound your alarm
Poor a-poor a-poor me Israelite
I said
Aah
I said
Aah
Look Me
Aah
Poor me Israelite
A-poor a-poor a-poor me Israelites Aah
