As for the song, allow me: First of all, the actual title is "Poor Me, Israelites," which was too confusing to non-jamaicans, so the shortened it. Incidentally, that "Ohh, Ohh" you're hearing is actually "Poor me," if you can believe that. Here 'tis: >>>"Gets up in the morning slaving for bread, sir->>>So that every mouth can be fed->>>Poor me, israelites" >>>"My wife and my kids a-they pack up and a-leave me->>>'Darling,' she said 'I was yours to recieve-'>>>Poor me, israelites" >>>"Shirt them a-tear up, trousers are gone->>>I don't want to end up like Bonnie and Clyde->>>Poor me, israelites" >>>"After a storm, there must be a calmin'->>>You catch me in your farm, you sound your alarm->>>Poor me, israelites." >>>There was this dynamite commercial for Maxell, I think, where this Jamaican cat was holding cards with the "lyrics" to the song on them and revealing them "Subterranean Homesick Blues" style (or "Mediate" style, for you young 'uns) The lyrics were hilarious. The only two I remember were "Sold out to every monk and Beef-head/ Ohhh, my ears are alight." and "Darling cheese-head I was yards too greasy..."-Depon (bare legged-for the reason why, see next post!)
