[Chorus]
You will eat
Bye and bye
In that glorious land in the sky
Work and pray
Live on hay
You get pie in the sky when you die (that's a lie!)
Long-haired preachers come out every night
Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right
But when asked about something to eat
They will answer in voices so sweet:
[Chorus]
If you fight hard for children and wife
Try to get something good in this life
You're a sinner and a bad man, they tell
When you die you will surely go to hell
[Chorus]
Workingmen of all countries unite
Side by side we for freedom will 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
Pie in the Sky - Pete Seeger
