Union Maid

Union Maid - Pete Seeger

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

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

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

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
