SLAVE(Joe HilI) |
|
Long-haired preachers come out every night, |
|
Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right; |
|
But when asked how 'bout something to eat |
|
They will answer with voices so sweet: |
|
Main Chorus: |
|
You will eat, bye and bye, |
|
In that glorious land above the sky; |
|
Work and Pray, live on hay, |
|
You'll get pie in the sky when you die. |
|
And the starvation army they play, |
|
And they sing and they clap and they pray. |
|
Till they get all your coin on the drum, |
|
Then they tell you when you are on the bum: |
|
If you fight hard for children and wife |
|
Try to get something good in this life |
|
You're a sinner and bad man, they tell, |
|
When you die you will sure go to hell. |
|
Workingmen of all countries unite, |
|
Side by side we for freedom will fight; |
|
When the world and its wealth we have gained |
|
To the grafters we'll sing this refrain: |
|
Last Chorus: |
|
You will eat, bye and bye, |
|
When you've learned how to cook and to fry |
|
Chop some wood, 'twill do you good |
|
And you'll eat in the sweet bye and bye.(Tune: In the Sweet Bye and Bye) |
