Long-haired preachers come out every night
To tell you what’s wrong and what’s right
They will answer in voices so sweet
But when asked about something to eat
"You will eat, bye and byeIn that glorious land up in the skyWork and pray, live on hayYou'll get pie in the sky when you die"
And the starvation army they playThey sing and they clap and they pray'Til they get all your coin on the drumThen they'll tell you when you're on the bum
"You're gonna eat, bye and bye, poor boyIn that glorious land up in the sky, way up highWork and pray, and live on hayYou'll get pie in the sky when you die", dirty lie
Holy rollers and jumpers come outAnd they holler, they jump, Lord, they shout"Give your money to Jesus", they say"He will cure all your troubles today"
"And you will eat, bye and byeIn that glorious land up in the sky, way up highWork and pray, boy, live on hayYou'll get pie in the sky when you die"
If you fight hard for children and wifeTry to get something good from this life"You're a sinner and bad man", they tell"When you die, you will sure go to Hell"
"You will eat, bye and byeIn that glorious land up in the skyWork and pray, live on hayYou'll get pie in the sky when you die"
Working men of all countries uniteSide by side for freedom we will fightWhen this world and its wealth we have gainedTo the grafters, we'll sing this refrain
"Well, you will eat, bye and byeWhen you've learned how to cook and to fryChop some wood, it'll do you goodYou will eat in that sweet bye and bye"
"Yes, you'll eat, bye and byeIn that glorious land up in the sky, way up highWork and pray, and live on hayYou'll get pie in the sky when you die", that's a lie.
