The Preacher And The Slave
Long-haired preachers come out every' night
传教士夜夜来布道
Try to tell you what's wrong and what's right
告诉你啥坏啥是好
But when asked how 'bout something to eat
你若问为何饿肚皮
They will answer with voices so sweet
他就好声气回答你:
You will eat, bye and bye
“天堂里有的是面包”
In that glorious land above the sky
“到时候你会吃得到”
Work and pray, live on hay
先干活祈祷睡稻草
You'll get pie in the sky when you die
死去时天堂有甜包
And the starvation army they play
挨饿军街头来传教
And they sing and they clap and they pray
唱圣歌拍手又祈祷
Till they get all your coin on the drum
敲洋鼓掏尽你腰包
Then they tell you when you are on the bum
而再骂你是穷赤佬
You will eat, bye and bye
“天堂里有的是面包”
In that glorious land above the sky
“到时候你会吃得到”
Work and pray, live on hay
“先干活祈祷睡稻草”
You'll get pie in the sky when you die
“死去时天堂有甜包”
If you fight hard for children and wife
假如为妻儿苦抗争
Try to get something good in this life
假如你今生要翻身
You're a sinner and bad man, they tell
他们说你是罪有余
When you die you will sure go to hell
“死后一定会下地狱”
You will eat, bye and bye
“天堂里有的是面包”
In that glorious land above the sky
“到时候你会吃得到”
Work and pray, live on hay
“先干活祈祷睡稻草”
You'll get pie in the sky when you die
“死去时天堂有甜包”
Workingmen of all countries unite
全世界工友团结起
Side by side we for freedom will fight
为自由并肩战到底
When the world and its wealth we have gained
当世界财富夺到手
To the grafters we'll sing this refrain
骗子们听我歌一首
You will eat, bye and bye
到时候你就会得到
When you've learned how to cook and to fry
只要你学会去烹炒
Chop some wood, 'twill do you good
只要你学会去砍柴
And you'll eat in the sweet bye and bye
好时光慢慢就来到
