[00:00:00] Poor Poor Joseph (Re-Recorded Version) - Platinum Collection Band

[00:00:10] Next day far from home

[00:00:12] The brothers planned the repulsive crime

[00:00:14] Let us grab him now

[00:00:16] Do him in while we've got the time

[00:00:23] This they did and made the most of it

[00:00:27] Tore his coat and flung him in a pit

[00:00:32] Let us leave him here

[00:00:34] All alone and he's bound to die

[00:00:36] Then some ishmaelites

[00:00:38] A hairy crew came riding by

[00:00:49] In a flash the brothers changed their plan

[00:00:53] We need cash

[00:00:54] Let's sell him if we can

[00:00:57] Poor poor Joseph what'cha gonna do

[00:01:01] Things look bad for you hey what'cha gonna do

[00:01:06] Poor poor Joseph what'cha gonna do

[00:01:10] Things look bad for you hey what'cha gonna do

[00:01:14] Could you use a slave

[00:01:16] You hairy bunch of Ishmaelites

[00:01:18] Young strong well behaved

[00:01:21] Going cheap and he reads and writes

[00:01:23] In a trice the dirty deal was done

[00:01:27] Silver coins for Jacob's favorite son

[00:01:31] Then the Ishmaelites galloped off with the slave in tow

[00:01:36] Off to

[00:01:36] Egypt where Joseph was not keen to go

[00:01:40] It wouldn't be a picnic he could tell

[00:01:44] And I don't speak

[00:01:45] Egyptian very well

[00:01:49] Joseph's brothers tore his precious multi colored coat

[00:01:53] Having ripped it up they next attacked a passing goat

[00:01:57] Soon the wretched creature was no more

[00:02:01] They dipped his coat in blood and guts and gore

[00:02:06] Oh now brothers how low can you stoop

[00:02:11] You make a sordid group hey how low can you stoop

[00:02:16] Poor poor Joseph sold to be a slave

[00:02:22] Situation's grave hey sold to be a slave
