[00:59.000] Long-haired preachers come out every' night
[01:02.000] Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right
[01:05.000] But when asked how 'bout something to eat
[01:10.000] They will answer with voices so sweet
[01:14.000] You will eat, bye and bye
[01:18.000] In that glorious land above the sky
[01:23.000] Work and pray, live on hay
[01:27.000] You'll get pie in the sky when you die
[01:58.000] You will eat, bye and bye
[02:03.000] In that glorious land above the sky
[02:07.000] Work and pray, live on hay
[02:12.000] You'll get pie in the sky when you die
[02:19.000] Long-haired preachers come out every' night
[02:23.000] Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right
[02:27.000] But when asked how 'bout something to eat
[02:30.000] They will answer with voices so sweet
[02:35.000] You will eat, bye and bye
[02:39.000] In that glorious land above the sky
[02:43.000] Work and pray, live on hay
[02:47.000] You'll get pie in the sky when you die
[02:53.000] And the starvation army they play
[02:56.000] And they sing and they clap and they pray
[02:59.000] Till they get all your coin on the drum
[03:03.000] Then they tell you when you are on the bum
[03:07.000] You will eat, bye and bye
[03:12.000] In that glorious land above the sky
[03:16.000] Work and pray, live on hay
[03:19.000] You'll get pie in the sky when you die
[03:24.000] Workingmen of all countries unite
[03:29.000] Side by side we for freedom will fight
[03:33.000] When the world and its wealth we have gained
[03:37.000] To the grafters we'll sing this refrain
[03:41.000] You will eat, bye and bye
[03:45.000] When you've learned how to cook and to fry
[03:49.000] Chop some wood, 'twill do you good
[03:52.000] And you'll eat in the sweet bye and bye
