《The Preacher And The Slave》歌词

[00:00:00] The Preacher & The Slave - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)/Tom Glazer

[00:00:29] Long haired preachers come out every night

[00:00:34] Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right;

[00:00:38] But when asked how 'bout something to eat

[00:00:43] They will answer with voices so sweet:

[00:00:48] You will eat bye and bye

[00:00:52] In that glorious land above the sky;

[00:00:57] Work and Pray live on hay

[00:01:02] You'll get pie in the sky when you die

[00:01:06] And the starvation army they play

[00:01:11] And they sing and they clap and they pray

[00:01:15] Till they get all your coin on the drum

[00:01:20] Then they tell you when you are on the bum:

[00:01:42] If you fight hard for children and wife

[00:01:47] Try to get something good in this life

[00:01:51] You're a sinner and bad man they tell

[00:01:55] When you die you will sure go to hell

[00:02:17] Workingmen of all countries unite

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

[00:02:26] When the world and it's wealth we have gained

[00:02:30] To the grafters we'll sing this refrain:

[00:02:35] You will eat bye and bye

[00:02:40] When you've learned how to cook and to fry

[00:02:44] Chop some wood 'twill do you good

[00:02:49] And you'll eat in the sweet bye and bye
