Israelites

(lyrics by desmond dekker)

Get up in the morning slaving for bread sir

So that every mouth can be fed

Oooh, oooh mi israelites.



Mi wife an' ma kids them a pack up an' a leave me

"darling" she said "i was yours to be seen"

Oooh, oooh mi israelites



Who am i workin' for?



Cho! shirt dem a tear-up trousers a go

I don't wan' to end up like bonny and clyde

Oooh, oooh mi israelites



After a storm there must be a calm

Uou catch me in your farm, you sound your alarm

Oooh, oooh mi israelites
