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 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.
