The Preacher and the Slave

 Our church has a hymn sing prior to the evening services on Sunday night. One of the hymns requested was In the Sweet Bye and Bye [(Johnny Cash) or (Dolly Parton)]. Labor Organizer Utah Philips sang a parody of this hymn to support his crusade against big corporations and in favor of unions. This song is call The Preacher and the Slave.
