《Poor Poor Joseph》歌词

[00:00:05] Next day far from home

[00:00:07] The brothers planned the repulsive crime

[00:00:09] Let us grab him now

[00:00:11] Do him in while weave got the time

[00:00:16] This they did and made the most of it

[00:00:20] Tore his coat and flung him in pit

[00:00:24] Let us leave him here

[00:00:26] All alone and he's bound to die

[00:00:28] When some ishmaelites

[00:00:29] A hairy crew came riding by

[00:00:39] In a flash the brothers changed their plan

[00:00:43] We need cash let's sell him if we can

[00:00:47] Poor poor Joseph what'cha gonna do

[00:00:52] Things look bad for you hey what'cha gonna do

[00:00:58] Poor poor Joseph what'cha gonna do

[00:01:03] Things look bad for you hey what'cha gonna do

[00:01:12] Could you use a slave you hairy bunch of ishmaelites

[00:01:21] Young strong well behaved

[00:01:22] Going cheap and he reads and writes

[00:01:24] In a trice the dirty deal was done

[00:01:28] Silver coins for Jacob's favourite son

[00:01:32] Then the ishmaelites

[00:01:34] Galloped off with the slave in tow

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

[00:01:39] It wouldn't be a picnic he could tell

[00:01:43] And I don't speak egyptian very well

[00:01:47] Joseph's brothers tore

[00:01:49] His precious multi coloured coat

[00:01:51] Having ripped it up

[00:01:52] They next attacked a passing goat

[00:01:54] Soon the wretched creature was no more

[00:01:58] They dipped his coat in blood and guts and gore

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

[00:02:08] You make a sordid group hey how low can you stoop

[00:02:13] Poor poor Joseph sold to be a slave

[00:02:19] Situation's grave hey sold to be a slave
