Poor Me Israelites

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me Israelites, ah

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread sir
So that every mouth can be fed
Poor me Israelite

My wife and my kids
They packed up and leave me
Darling, she said, I was yours to be seen
Poor me Israelites

Shirt them a-tear up, trousers is gone
I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde
(Poor me Israelites) poor me Israelites

After a storm there must be a calm
They catch me in the farm
You sound your alarm
(Poor me Israelites) poor, a poor, a poor me Israelites, yee!
