"Union Maid" lyrics

There once was a union maid, she never was afraid
Of goons and ginks and company finks and the deputy sheriffs who made the raid
She went to the union hall when a meeting it was called
And when the company boys come 'round, she always stood her ground

Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die

This union maid was wise to the tricks of company spies
She couldn't be fooled by a company stool, she'd always organize the guys
She always got her way when she struck for better pay
She'd show her card to the National Guard, and this is what she'd say

Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die

So if you want to be free, just take a tip from me
Hand in hand, we'll take a stand, I'm for you and you're for me
Life is never hard when you got a union card
We'll hold the land 'til the end of time, the power's yours and mine

Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die

Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die
