Woody Guthrie - Union Maid lyrics
UNION MAID (Woody Guthrie) There once was a union maid Who never was afraid Of goons and ginks and company finks And deputy sheriffs who made the raids She went to the union hall When a meeting it was called, And when the Legion boys came 'round She always stood her ground. cho: 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 till theday 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 little 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, And a union man has a happy life When he's got a union wife. *in the late eighty's wave of revisionism, this became "And fight together for liberty". Woody never said that.
