Woody Guthrie - Union Maid (Excerpt) 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 Legion 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 You gals who want to be free, just take a tip from me; Get you a man who's a union man and join the ladies' auxiliary Married life ain't hard when you got a union card A union man has a happy life when he's got a union wife
