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
