In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that beautiful shore In the sweet by and by we shall meet on that. beautiful shore. Long haired preachers come out ev'ry night Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right But when asked about something to eat They will answer with voices so sweet You will eat you will eat by and by In the glorious land in the sky way up high work and pray live on hay You'll get pie in the sky when ya die And the starvation army they play And they sing and they clap and they pray 'Til they get 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 In the glorious land in the sky way up high work and pray live on hay You'll get pie in the sky when ya die Holy rollers and jumpers come out And they holler and jump and they shout But when eat-ting time comes 'round they say You will eat on that glorious day You will eat you will eat by and by In the glorious land in the sky way up high work and pray live on hay You'll get pie in the sky when ya 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 sure go to Hell You will eat you will eat by and by In the glorious land in the sky way up high work and pray live on hay You'll get pie in the sky when ya die Working men of all countries unite Together we'll stand and we'll fight When the world and its wealth we have gained To the grafters we'll sing this refrain You will eat you will eat by and by When you've learned how to cook and to fry Chop some wood do ya good And you'll eat in the sweet by and by
