The Preacher and the Slave

Long-haired preachers come out every night
 Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right
 But when asked about something to eat
 They will answer in voices so sweet
 You will eat, you will eat, by and by
 In that glorious land in the sky, way up high
 Work and pray, live on hay
 You'll get pie in the sky when you die, that's a lie
 The Starvation Army they play
 And they shout and they clap and they pray
 When they got all your coins on the drum
 They will tell you when you're on the bum
 You will eat, you will eat, by and by
 In that glorious land in the sky, way up high
 Work and pray, live on hay
 You'll get pie in the sky when you die, that's a lie
 Working folks of all countries unite
 Side by side we for freedom shall fight
 When this world and its wealth we have gained
 To the grafters we'll sing this refrain
 You will eat, you will eat, by and by
 When you've learned how to cook and how to fry
 Chop some wood, it'll do you good
 And you'll eat in that sweet by and by, that's no lie
