|
Now there once was a union maid, she never was afraid |
|
Of the goons and the ginks and the company finks and the deputy sheriffs who made the raid. |
|
She went to the union hall where a meeting it was called, |
|
And when the boys would come up to her |
|
Oh this is what she'd say(Chorus) |
|
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.Now this union maid was wise to the tricks of company spies, |
|
She'd take the dare, she didn't care, she always organized the guys. |
|
And she always got her way when she asked for better pay. |
|
She showed her card to the |
|
National Guard |
|
Honey this is what they'd say(Chorus) |
|
Now you girls who want to be free, just take a little tip from me; |
|
Oh get you a man who's a union man and you can join the ladies' auxiliary. |
|
Because married life ain't hard when you got a union card, |
|
And a union life is a happy life when you got a union wife.(Chorus x2) |
