 G                          C         G
 Long-haired preachers come out every night
 G                                       D
 Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right
 G                        C            G
 But when asked how 'bout something to eat
 G                   D         G
 They will answer in voices so sweet

 G                            D
 You will eat [You will eat], bye and bye [bye and bye]
                                  G
 In that glorious land above the sky [Way up high]
 G                      C
 Work and pray [Work and pray], live on hay [live on hay]
 G                     D            G
 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
 G                      C           G
 Till they get all your coin on the drum

 And they holler, they jump and they shout

 He will cure all diseases today

 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

 To the grafters we'll sing this refrain
