This song was originally written by Joe Hill, and is from an album by Tom
Juravich

The long haired preachers come out every night,
try to tell you what's wrong and what's right,
till you ask about something to eat,
then they answer in voices so sweet;

  You will eat
  by 'n by
  in that beautiful 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)

Well the Starvation Army they play,
they sing and they clap and they pray,
till they've got all your coin on the drum,
then they tell you that you're on the bum.
(Refrain)
If you work hard for your children and your wife
(or husband)
try to get something good in this life,
Well you're a sinner and a band man they tell,
and when you die you will sure got to hell.
(Refrain)
Workin' folks of all nations unite,
side by side for freedom we'll fight,
when this world and its wealth we have gained,
to the grafters we'll sing this refrain:

  You will eat
  by and by
  when you've learned how to cook and how to fry.
  Chop some wood
  do you good
  and you'll eat in the sweet by and by. (That's no lie)
