传教士与奴隶

传教士夜夜来布道，
告诉你啥坏啥是好；
你若问为何饿肚皮，
他就好声气回答你：

(合唱)

天堂里有的是面包，
到时候你会吃得到；
先干活祈祷睡稻草，
死去时天堂有甜包。

挨饿军街头来传教，
唱圣歌拍手又祈祷；
敲洋鼓掏尽你腰包，
而再骂你是穷赤佬。

假如为妻儿苦抗争 ──
假如你今生要翻身 ──
他们说你是罪有余，
死去后一定下地狱。

全世界工友团结起，
为自由并肩战到底；
当世界财富夺到手，
骗子们听我歌一首：

(最后合唱)

到时候你会得到，
只要你学会去烹炒；
只要你学会去砍柴，
好时光慢慢就来到。

　

The Preacher and the Slave

Long-haired preachers come out every night,
Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right;
But when asked how 'bout something to eat
They will answer in voices so sweet
You will eat, bye and bye,
In that glorious land above 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 sing and they clap and they pray,
Till they get all your coin on the drum,
Then they tell you when you're on the bum
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 and bad man, they tell,
When you die you will sure go to hell.
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've learned how to cook and how to fry;
Chop some wood, 'twill do you good
Then you'll eat in the sweet bye and bye
The chorus is sung in a call and response pattern.

You will eat [You will eat] bye and bye [bye and bye]
In that glorious land above 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!]
Thus the final verse becomes

You will eat [You will eat] bye and bye [bye and bye]
When you've learned how to cook and how to fry [How to fry]
Chop some wood [Chop some wood], 'twill do you good [do you good]
Then you'll eat in the sweet bye and bye [That's no lie]
