This Made Me Cry
- 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
- Chorus
- 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
- (Chorus)
- 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
- (Chorus)
- 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.
- (Chorus)
- 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
(Chorus)
