Cisco Houston - Pie in the Sky lyrics

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 its 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...
