Lyrics " Union Maid "

Original text with translation

Union Maid

Woody Guthrie, 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:

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
