Poor me Israelites
Get up in the morning slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me Israelites
My wife an' my kids them a pack up an' a leave me
Darlin' she said, "I was yours to be seen"
Poor me Israelites
Shirt dem a tear-up trousers a go
I don't want to end up like Bonny and Clyde
Poor me Israelites
After a storm there must be a calm
You catch me in your farm, you sound your alarm
Poor me Israelites
I said, "I get up in the morning slaving for bread, sir
