When we heard this song back in '68 we
thought he was singing 'me ears are a-light.')***

    different versions of this song.)

A
Get up in the morning, slaving for bread, sah,
              A7
so that every mouth can be fed.
D     E           A          F G
poor, poor me, me-Israelite. Aah.

Wife and kids, dem pack up and-a leave me.

#3.
A
Shirt dem a tear up, trousers a go.
                            A7

poor, poor me, me-Israelite. Aah.

#4.
A
After a storm there must be a calm.
