At the Starvation Army they play
And they sing and they clap and they pray
'Til they've got all your coin on the drum
Then they tell you, when you're on the bum
"You will eat (you will eat), by and by (by and by)
In that glorious land in the sky (way up high)
Work and pray (work and pray) live on hay (live on hay)
You'll get pie in the sky when you die" (That's a lie!)

Long-haired preacher and the slave

CHORUS:
You will eat, bye and bye
In that glorious land above the sky
Work and pray, live on hay
You’ll get #pieinthesky when you die (that’s a lie)

And the #starvationarmy they play
And they sing and they clap and they pray
