Pete Seeger - Union Maid lyrics
[Pete Seeger - 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
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
