The Preacher and the Slave

[3] Several songs were written parodying the Salvation Army's hymns,[1] "The Preacher and the Slave" being the most successful.

[4][5] The song is often referred to as "Pie in the Sky", or as "Long Haired Preachers" (which was its original title).

[8] Harry McClintock is credited with being the first person to sing "Long Haired Preachers",[9] a song by Joe Hill, in public.

Woody Guthrie was also known to sing this song,[10] as well as Pete Seeger[11] and Utah Phillips.

The name of the song is also used as the title of a novel based on Joe Hill's life written by Wallace Stegner.
