Preacher and the Slave 歌詞
Preacher and the Slave - Utah Phillips
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
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
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
And the starvation army they play
And they sing and they clap and they pray
Till they get all your coin on the drum
Then they tell you when you are on the bum
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
Holy roller and jumpers comes house
And they roll and they jump they shout
But give your money the Jesus say
And you eat it on that glory stay
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
Working men of all countries unite
Side by side we for freedom shall fight
When the world and its wealth we have gained
To the grafters we'll sing this refrain
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
That's lord light
