the israelite
desmond decker

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

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

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

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

Poor me, the Israelite.
I wonder who I'm working for.
Poor me, Israelite,
I look a-down and out, sir.

Double Barrel

Artist: Dave & Ansel Collins

I am the magnificent
I'm backed by the shack of a soul boss most turnin' stormin' sound o'soul

I am double u o,o,o and I'm still up here again

Hey

Work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work, work
Build it up
One time
Work it on baby
Mush, mush, mush, mush

Hit me one time
Ugh, ugh, ugh, ugh ugh
Break it up
Push your lips now

You're fine baby, you're fine

I am the magnificent, double u o,o,o

Good God, too much, I like it

Soul party
Work it up one time, work it two time
Shack it
Back it
I am the magnificent baby, double u, o, o, o

Enter the shack at the back of your soul baby
Work it out huh
Hit me one time
