UNION MAID


There once was a union maid
who never was afraid
Of goons and ginks and the company finks
and the deputy sheriffs who made the raids;
She went to the union hall
when a meeting it was called,
And when the company boys came ‘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, till the day I die.

This union maid was wise
to the tricks of the company spies,
She never got fooled by a company stool,
she’d always organize the guys;
She always got her way
when she stuck for higher pay,
She’d show her card to the company 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, till the day I die.

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’ve 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, till the day I die.
