Pie In The Sky - Cisco Houston

Long-haired preachers come out every night

To tell you what's wrong and what's right

But when asked how about something to eat

They will answer in 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

That's a lie

And 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:

You're gonna eat bye and bye poor boy

In that glorious land above the sky way up high

Work and pray live on hay

You'll get pie in the sky when you die

Dirty lie

Holy Rollers and jumpers come out

They holler they jump Lord they shout

Give your money to Jesus they say

He will cure all troubles today

And you will eat bye and bye

In that glorious land above the sky way up high

Work and pray boy 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

Workingmen of all countries unite

Side by side we for freedom will fight

When this world and it's wealth we have gained

To the grafters we'll sing this refrain:

Well you will eat bye and bye

When you've learned how to cook and to fry

Chop some wood it' ll do you good

You will eat in the sweet bye and bye

Yes you'll eat bye and bye

In that glorious land above the sky way up high

Work and pray and live on hay

You'll get pie in the sky when you die

That's a lie
