Preacher & Slave
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Refrain:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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 bum:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Refrain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Refrain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Refrain.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
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:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Final 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. 1911
