歌词
[Verse 1]
Get up in the morning slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me, Israelites, ah
[Verse 2]
Get up in the morning slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me, Israelites
[Verse 3]
My wife and my kids, they pack up and ah leave me
"Darling," she said, "I was yours to be seen"
Poor me, Israelites
[Verse 4]
Shirt, them ah tear up, trousers are gone
I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde
Poor me, Israelites
[Verse 5]
After a storm, there must be a calm
If ah catch me in the farm, you sound your alarm
Poor me, Israelites
[Verse 6]
I said I get up in the morning slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me, Israelites
[Verse 7]
I said my wife and my kids, they pack up and ah leave me
"Darling," she said, "I was yours to be seen"
Poor me, Israelites, ah
[Verse 8]
Look, me shirt, them ah tear up, trousers are gone
I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde
Poor me, Israelites, ah
[Verse 9]
After a storm, there must be a calm
If catch me in the farm, you sound your alarm
Poor me, Israelites
[Verse 10]
Yee
Ah poor, ah poor, ah poor, ah poor me, Israelite
I'm ah wondering, ah working so hard
Ah poor, ah poor, ah poor me, Israelite
I look ah down and ah me say
Ah poor, ah poor, ah poor me, Israelite
