"The Preacher and the Slave" is a song written by Joe Hill in 1911. It was written as a parody of the hymn "In the Sweet By-and-By". Copying or using the musical style of the hymn was also a way to capture the emotional resonance of that style of music and use it for a non-religious purpose. "The Preacher and the Slave" is also a novel written by Wallace Stegner. The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW, also commonly known as the Wobblies) concentrated much of its labor trying to organize migrant workers in lumber and construction camps. When the workers returned to the cities, the Wobblies faced the Salvation Army, which they satirized as the "Starvation Army", who were said to have tried to drown out IWW with their religious music. Hill had first encountered the Salvation Army in Sweden

| - Svarta präster (originaltitel: The preacher and the slave), Roud 9612, är en socialistisk kampsång skriven av svensk-amerikanen Joe Hill, med melodin lånad från Frälsningsarméns sång In the sweet by and by (Det är saligt på Jesus få tro), men Joe Hills version driver med religionen. Den svenska texten är skriven av Ture Nerman. (sv)
- The Preacher and the Slave, esperante La Predikisto kaj la Sklavo, estas originale anglalingva kanto, verkita de Joe Hill en 1911. Li verkis ĝin kiel parodion de anglalingva kristana himno, In the Sweet By-and-By (kio signifas "En la dolĉa baldaŭo"). La sindikato Industriaj Laboristoj de la Mondo (komune konataj kiel la "voblioj") koncentris multe el sia laboro al klopodoj organizi migrantajn laboristojn en segejoj kaj konstruejoj. Kiam la laboristoj revenis al la urboj, la voblioj alfrontis la Savarmeon (angle the Salvation Army), kiun ili satiris kiel "la Malsatarmeon" (angle the Starvation Army). Hill unue ekkonis la Savarmeon en Svedio kiam li estis infano. (eo)

| - The Preacher and the Slave, esperante La Predikisto kaj la Sklavo, estas originale anglalingva kanto, verkita de Joe Hill en 1911. Li verkis ĝin kiel parodion de anglalingva kristana himno, In the Sweet By-and-By (kio signifas "En la dolĉa baldaŭo"). La sindikato Industriaj Laboristoj de la Mondo (komune konataj kiel la "voblioj") koncentris multe el sia laboro al klopodoj organizi migrantajn laboristojn en segejoj kaj konstruejoj. Kiam la laboristoj revenis al la urboj, la voblioj alfrontis la Savarmeon (angle the Salvation Army), kiun ili satiris kiel "la Malsatarmeon" (angle the Starvation Army). Hill unue ekkonis la Savarmeon en Svedio kiam li estis infano. La voblioj verkis multajn kantojn, kiuj parodiis la himnojn de la Savarmeo, kaj The Preacher and the Slave estis la plej sukcesa. Mallonge dirite, la kanto temas pri predikistoj, kiuj ofertas nenian manĝon al la malsataj laboristoj sed promesas, ke ili manĝos en la ĉielo post sia morto. En la kanto, Joe Hill inventis la nun-tre-popularan anglalingvan terminon pie in the sky. Tio laŭvorte signifas "torton en la ĉielo" kaj temas pri la falsa promeso de paradiza estonteco, farita por malhelpi agadon por krei pli bonan mondon hodiaŭ. Ekzistas simila Esperanta proverbo, "Promeso ne satigas." Oni ofte referencas la kanton kiel Pie in the Sky aŭ kiel Long Haired Preachers ("longharaj predikistoj") (kiu estis ĝia originala titolo). Ĝi unue eldoniĝis en 1911 en la 4-a eldono de kantaro por IWW nome "the Little Red Songbook" ("la eta ruĝa kantolibro"). (eo)

When the workers returned to the cities, the Wobblies faced the Salvation Army, which they satirized as the "Starvation Army", who were said to have tried to drown out IWW with their religious music. Hill had first encountered the Salvation Army in Sweden when he was a child. Several songs were written parodying the Salvation Army's hymns, "The Preacher and the Slave" being the most successful. In this song, Joe Hill coined the phrase "pie in the sky." The song is often referred to as "Pie in the Sky", or as "Long Haired Preachers" (which was its original title). It was first published in the 4th edition of the Little Red Songbook in 1911. Harry McClintock is credited with being the first person to sing "Long Haired Preachers", a song by Joe Hill, in public. Woody Guthrie was also known to sing this song, as well as Pete Seeger and Utah Phillips. (en)
