Lyrics

UNION MAID
(Woody Guthrie)

There once was a union maid, she never was afraid
Of the goons and the ginks and the company finks
And the deputy sheriffs that made the raid
She went to the union hall when a meeting, it was called
And when the company boys come around
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 (yes I am)
No, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union
I'm sticking to the union til the day I die



So you folks who want to be free won’t ya take this tip from me
Break outa that mold, we won’t be sold we’ve Got a fighting history
We’ll strike for workers’ rights—All workers must unite
Just roll those bones like Mother Jones to the front every fight

Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union (yes, I am)
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union
I'm sticking to the union till the day I die

“Now, I know you’ve got your own story…Don’t be shy…Bring the glory
Come on and sing your own verse, you couldn’t do no worse…”
