♫♫♫ Long-haired preachers come out every night Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right When you ask how'bout something to eat They will answer with voices so sweet You will eat, bye and bye In that glorious land in the sky Work and pray, live on hay You'll get pie in the sky when you die And the Starvation Army, they play And they clap and they sing and they pray Till they get all your coin on the drum Then they tell you that you're on the bum You will eat, bye and bye In that glorious land in the sky Work and pray, 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 surely go to hell. You will eat, bye and bye In that glorious land in 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 the world and its wealth we have gained To the grafters we'll sing this refrain You will eat, bye and bye When you learn how to cook and how to fry Chop some wood, 'twill do you good Then you'll eat in the sweet bye and bye ♫♫♫ ----------------------------------------------------- Left out: Holy Rollers and Jumpers come out And they holler, they jump and they shout Give your money to Jesus, they say He will cure all diseases today

Thank you so much for this. Been reading up on working class history and learning what I could. And Phil Orhs' "Ballad of Joe Hill" just had me to complete tears. Solidarity from the Philippines!

If it weren't for Joe Hill, the world would be a much worse place. His determination inspired many to organize.

Nice. Just what I was looking for

Wow...haven't seen this movie in a long time. I love the scene at 52:51 where Joe Hill sings the parody song he wrote. Thanks for putting it here! May Day 2024
