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
