Pie in the Sky - Cisco Houston/Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

Long-haired preachers come out every night[00:00:04]

To tell you what's wrong and what's right[00:00:08]

But when asked how about something to eat[00:00:11]

They will answer in voices so sweet:[00:00:15]

You will eat bye and bye[00:00:19]

In that glorious land above the sky[00:00:24]

Work and pray live on hay[00:00:27]

You'll get pie in the sky when you die [00:00:31]

That's a lie[00:00:34]

And the starvation army they play[00:00:37]

They sing and they clap and they pray[00:00:41]

'Till they get all your coin on the drum[00:00:45]

Then they'll tell you when you're on the bum:[00:00:49]

You're gonna eat bye and bye poor boy[00:00:53]

In that glorious land above the sky way up high[00:00:57]

Work and pray live on hay[00:01:01]

You'll get pie in the sky when you die[00:01:05]

Dirty lie[00:01:08]

Holy Rollers and jumpers come out[00:01:11]

They holler they jump Lord they shout[00:01:15]

Give your money to Jesus they say[00:01:19]

He will cure all troubles today[00:01:23]

And you will eat bye and bye [00:01:26]

In that glorious land above the sky way up high[00:01:30]

Work and pray boy live on hay [00:01:35]

You'll get pie in the sky when you die [00:01:38]

If you fight hard for children and wife[00:01:45]

Try to get something good in this life[00:01:49]

You're a sinner and bad man they tell[00:01:53]

When you die you will sure go to hell[00:01:57]

You will eat bye and bye[00:02:00]

In that glorious land above the sky[00:02:04]

Work and pray live on hay[00:02:08]

You'll get pie in the sky when you die[00:02:12]

Workingmen of all countries unite[00:02:18]

Side by side we for freedom will fight[00:02:22]

When this world and it's wealth we have gained[00:02:25]

To the grafters we'll sing this refrain:[00:02:29]

Well you will eat bye and bye[00:02:33]

When you've learned how to cook and to fry[00:02:37]

Chop some wood it' ll do you good[00:02:41]

You will eat in the sweet bye and bye[00:02:46]

Yes you'll eat bye and bye[00:02:49]

In that glorious land above the sky way up high[00:02:54]

Work and pray and live on hay[00:02:58]

You'll get pie in the sky when you die[00:03:02]

That's a lie[00:03:05]
