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.

hmmm...hmmm...
All I need from you is a good conversation, conversation
Cause it gives me sweet inspiration
And to tell you I never felt this way before
I know there is a way to say

Love your brothers, my friends
Love your sisters
Love your brothers
Love your sisters

And to tell you I must admit you've got me thinking, you've got me thinking
There were times I thought that I was sinking, I was sinking
But I'll always want to be in that position where I-
Where I can see more clearly

Love your brothers
Love your sisters
Love your brothers
Love your sisters

[Thanks to Jennings Falcon for lyrics]

Yesterday I got a letter
from my friend
fighting in Vietnam

and this is what he had to say:
'tell all my friends
that I'll be coming home soon

my time 'll be up some time in june.
Don't forget' he said
'to tell
my sweet Mary

her golden lips as sweet as cherries'.
And it came from:
Vietnam
Vietnam

It was just the next day
his mother got a Telegram

it was addressed from Vietnam.
Now mistress Brown she lives in the U.S.A
and this is
what she wrote and said:
'Don't be alarmed'
she told me the telegram said

'but mistress Brown
your son is dead!'
and it came from:

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

I think I can make it now, the pain is gone
All of the bad feelings have disappeared
Here is the rainbow I've been prayin' for
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

Look all around, there's nothin' but blue skies
Look straight ahead, nothin' but blue skies

I can see clearly now, the rain is gone,
I can see all obstacles in my way
Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind
It's gonna be a bright (bright), bright (bright)
Sun-Shiny day.

(Cogle/Kong)

I could feel these trills walking over
When you held me tight
Now I feel those pain taking over
When you said goodnight

Oh, what sweet sensation
Lord, what strange emotion
You got love and devotion
And I won't forget your touch

Now there's nothing left for me to say, girl
Than stay in your world
You got someone's soul deep inside, girl
and love that's richer than gold

Oh, what sweet sensation
Lord, what strange emotion
You got love and devotion
And I won't forget your touch

You keep telling me yes
But you don't mean it
You keep telling me no
And try to lean it
You're giving me buts and maybe
You know this will drive me crazy
Why can't you tell it like it is

Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no, now
Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no, now
Becuse I'm on my guard and I'm watching you from head to toe
You better let your yeah be yeah and your no be no

You wear a plastic smile
I know by you eyes
You speak with indefinite style
You're telling me lies
You've got to face reality
What is wrong with you and me
Why can't you free your honesty

Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no, now
Let your yeah be yeah and your no be no, now
Becuse I'm on my guard and I'm watching you from head to toe
You better let your yeah be yeah and your no be no

Cherry oh, Cherry oh, baby,
Don`t you know I`m in need of thee?
If you don`t believe it`s true,
What have you left me to do?
So long I,ve been waiting,
For you to come right in.
And now that we are together,
Please make my joy run over.
(Chorus)
Oh oh ee oh oh ee oh,
Oh oh ee oh ee oh ee oh.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Yah.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah.
Cherry, oh, Cherry, oh, baby,
Don`t you know I`m in love with you?
If you don`t believe I do,
Then why don`t you try me?
I`m never gonna let you down,
Never make you wear no frown.
If you say you love me madly,
Then I will receive you gladly.
(Chorus)
Cherry, oh, Cherry, oh, baby,
Don`t you know I`m in love with you?
If you don`t believe I do,
Then why don`t you try me?
I`m never gonna let you down,
Never make you wear no frown.
If you say you love me madly,
Then why do you treat me badly.
(Chorus)

This is!
A heavy, heavy monster sound
Hittin' you smack there, right there in the middle
And rev it right on

Heavy, heavy, ain't it heavy
Get up-get up, baby

A heavy monster sound
Hittin' you smack there, right there in the middle
Rocking, socking an' more shocking

Get up, get up, baby
Get up, get on up, get up no-no baby
Rock it on me-shake it on me

A heavy monster sound
Rock it right on
Work it
Now hear me

Work it on me-shake it on me
Shake it on me now, baby
Work it on me now I don't mean maybe

Comin' on strong
All day long
Hail I
Don't stop-no fuss an' fight
Revving right on

Good God, yeah, Baby
Good God, I don't mean maybe
Work it on me-shake it on me
Heavy, ain't that really heavy

Work it on me, shake it on me
Heavy, it's really, really, really heavy
Sock it on me-rock it on me now

[Thanks to Jennings Falcon for lyrics]

Stick it up, mister!
Hear what I say, sir, yeah...
Get your hands in the air, sir!
And you will get no hurt, mister, no no no

I said yeah
What did I say?
Don't you hear? I said yeah (yeah yeah)
Listen to what I say (what I say)

Do you believe I would take something with me
And give it to the police man?
I wouldn't do that, now listen to me one more time
I wouldn't do that

And if I do that, I would say "sir, put the charge on me"
I wouldn't do that
No, I wouldn't do that

I'm not a fool to hurt myself
So I was innocent of what they done to me
They was wrong
Listen to me, they were wrong

Give it to me one time
Give it to me two time
Give it to me three time
Give it to me four time

54 46 was my number
Right now, someone else has that number

I love you like I want you
And I kiss you like I need you
Every night
I'll draw you close to me
I'll tell you words of comfort
It's my delight
Darling I've grown to love you
More every day
And I've got a song to sing
Each lonely night, oh yeah, oh yeah
Stronger than the north winds
Higher than the mountains
That's my love for you
And I will never hurt you
Nor will I forsake you
Darling be true
It's only a matter of time, oh yeah
Then all of my dreams will come true
In every way, oh yeah oh yeah
Stronger than the north winds
Higher than the mountains
That's my love for you
And I will never hurt you
Nor will I forsake you
Darling be true
It's only a matter of time, oh yeah
Then all of my dreams will come true
In every way, oh yeah oh yeah

CHORUS

[Thanks to Jennings Falcon for lyrics]

Well they tell me
There's a pie in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day
You're born and when you die
Oh Lord, they never
Seem to hear even your cry

And as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
And then

The harder they come
The harder they fall
One and all
Oh the harder they come
The harder they fall

Well the oppressors are trying
To get me down, trying to drive me
Under the ground, and they think
That they have got their battle won
I say: "forgive 'em Lord
They no not what they've done"

And as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
And then

And I keep on fighting for
The things I want, though I know
That when you're dead, man you're gone
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Oh, than living like a puppet or a slave

And as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share of what's mine
And then
