joe glazer - pie in the sky (preacher and the slave) lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
long-haired preachers come out every night
trying to tell you what’s wrong and what’s right
but when asked how about something to eat
they will answer in voices so sweet:

[chorus]
you will eat, bye and bye
in that glorious land in the sky
work and pray, live on hay
you’ll get pie in the sky when you die
that’s a lie

[verse 2]
and the starvation army they play
they sing and they clap and they pray
’till they get all your coin on the drum
then they’ll tell you when you’re on the b-m:

[chorus]
you will eat, bye and bye
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

[verse 3]
holy rollers and jumpers come out
they holler, they jump and they shout
give your money to jesus they say
he will cure all diseases today

[chorus]
you will eat, bye and bye
in that glorious land above the sky, way up high
work and pray, boy, live on hay
you’ll get pie in the sky when you die
that’s a lie

[verse 4]
workingmen of all countries, unite
together we for freedom will fight
when this world and its wealth we have gained
to the grafters we’ll sing this refrain:

[chorus]
you will eat, bye and bye
when you’ve learned how to cook and to fry
chop some wood, it’ ll do you good
you will eat in the sweet bye and bye
that’s no lie
