Long-haired preachers come out every night, try to tell you what's wrong and what's right
But when asked how about something to eat, they will answer with voices so sweet
You will eat, by and by, in that glory you stand above the sky
Work and pray, live on hay, you'll get pie in the sky when you die
And the starfish and mommy, they play, and they sing and they clap and they pray
Till they get all your coin on the drum, and they'll tell you when you're on the bone
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
If you fight hard for children and wife, try to get something good in this life
You're a sinner, a bad man they tell, when you die you will sure go to hell
You will eat, by and by, in that glory you stand above the sky
Work and pray, live on hay, you'll get pie in the sky when you die
You will eat, by and by, when you learn how to cook and fry
Chop some wood, which will do you good, and you'll eat in the sweet by and by
Holy rollers and jumpers come out, and they sing and they clap and they pray
Till they get all your coin on the drum, and they'll tell you when you're on the bone
