Harder They Come movie - Israelites lyrics

rate me

Song by Desmond Dekker & The Aces<br /><br>

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir, <br>

so that every mouth can be fed. <br>

Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.<br>

<br>

Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir, <br>

So that every mouth can be fed. <br>

Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.<br>

<br>

My wife and my kids, they are packed up and leave me. <br>

Darling, she said, I was yours to be seen. <br>

Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.<br>

<br>

Shirt them a-tear up, trousers are gone. <br>

I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde. <br>

Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.<br>

<br>

After a storm there must be a calm. <br>

They catch me in the farm. You sound the alarm. <br>

Poor me, the Israelite. Aah.<br>

<br>

Poor me, the Israelite. <br>

I wonder who I'm working for. <br>

Poor me, Israelite, <br>

I look a-down and out, sir.<br>
