Desmond Dekker & The Aces - Israelites lyrics

rate me

Get up in the morning<br />

Slaving for bread, sir<br />

So that every mouth<br />

Can be fed<br />

<br />

Poor me, the Israelite<br />

<br />

Get up in the morning<br />

Slaving for bread, sir<br />

So that every mouth<br />

Can be fed<br />

<br />

Poor me, the Israelite<br />

<br />

My wife and my kids<br />

They are packed up and leave me<br />

Darling, she said<br />

I was yours to be seen<br />

<br />

Poor me, the Israelite<br />

<br />

Shirt them a-tear up<br />

Trousers are gone<br />

I don't want to end up<br />

Like Bonnie and Clyde<br />

<br />

Poor me, the Israelite<br />

<br />

After a storm<br />

There must be a calm<br />

They catch me in the farm<br />

You sound the alarm<br />

<br />

Poor me, the Israelite<br />

<br />

Get up in the morning<br />

Slaving for bread, sir<br />

So that every mouth<br />

Can be fed<br />

<br />

Poor me, the Israelite<br />

<br />

My wife and my kids<br />

They are packed up and leave me<br />

Darling, she said<br />

I was yours to be seen<br />

<br />

Poor me, the Israelite<br />

<br />

Shirt them a-tear up<br />

Trousers are gone<br />

I don't want to end up<br />

Like Bonnie and Clyde<br />

<br />

Poor me, Israelite<br />

<br />

After a storm<br />

There must be a calm<br />

They catch me in the farm<br />

You sound the alarm<br />

<br />

Poor me, Israelite<br />

Poor me, Israelite<br />

Poor me, Israelite<br />

Poor
