    Pie in the Sky - Pete Seeger

    Lyrics
    [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
