Union Maid, by Woody Guthrie

There once was a union maid she never was afraid
of the goons and the ginks and company finks
and the deputy sheriffs that made the raids
She go to the union hall when a meeting it was called
and when the company boys came around 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 was fooled by the company stool
she always organized the guys
she always get her way when she asked for better pay
she show her card to the National Guard and this is what she 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
