Via manceuk : Desmond Dekker & the Aces - Israelites - 45 rpm

thanx thunderbird.... the lyrics....Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sir,
so that every mouth can be fed.
Poor me, Israelite. Aah.

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

My wife and my kids, they are packed up and leave me.
Darling, she said, I was yours to be seen.
Poor me, Israelite. Aah.

Shirt them a-tear up, trousers are go.
I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde.
Poor a poor me, Israelite. Aah.

After a storm there must be a calm.
They catch me in the farm. You sound the alarm.
Poor a poor me, Israelite. Aah.

Poor me, the Israelite.
I wondering a working so hard.
Poor me, Israelite,
look down on-a me sir.

In the old days of AM radio, it was almost impossible to understand many of the lyrics of this hit.

All of you people debating Hitler and whatnot on here are ree-diculous. This is one of the true classics of ska. Halt your infantile politicking and enjoy.

@headly66 This is absolutly false. Read his biography by Ian Kershaw, there was not even one jewish family in Litz where he grew up.

The claim that he was jewish is totally unfounded.

Amen to that! I just returned from Israel and found the Jewish people to be beautuful and amazing! It certainly IS offensive that someone could even imagine Hitler was Jewish! Plus,how could he be when he had such HATRED for them?

God bless.
