Lyrics The Preacher and the Slave (Pie in the Sky) - Pete Seeger

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 with voices so sweet
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
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
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 (that′s a lie)
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 that you′re on the bum
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 (that′s a lie)
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
You will eat, bye and bye
When you′ve learned how to cook and to fry
Chop some wood, t'will do you good
And you′ll eat in the sweet bye and bye
