Israelites - Desmond Dekker

Written by：Leslie Kong/Desmond Dekker

The morning slaving for bread sir

So that every mouth can be fed

Poor me israelites aah

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 israelite

Shirt them atear up trousers is gone

I don't want to end up like band and clyde

Poor me israelite

After a storm there must be a calm

They catch me in the farm

You sound your alarm

Poor apoor apoor me israelite

I said I get up in the morning slaving for bread sir

So that every mouth can be fed

Poor me israelite aah

I said my wife and my kids they are packed up and leave me

Darling she said I was yours to be seen

Apoor me israelites aah

Look me shirts them atear up trousers are gone

I don't want to end up like bonnie and clyde

Poor apoor apoor me israelites aah

After a storm there must be a calm

They catch me in the farm

You sound your alarm

Poor me israelite

Apoor apoor apoor apoor me israelites aah

I'm wondering and working so hard

Apoor apoor apoor me the israelite

I look down and out sir

Apoor
