Woody Guthrie - Union Maid (Excerpt) Lyrics
UNION MAID(Woody Guthrie)There once was a union maidWho never was afraidOf goons and ginks and company finksAnd deputy sheriffs who made the raidsShe went to the union hallWhen a meeting it was called,And when the Legion boys came 'roundShe 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 wiseTo the tricks of company spies,She couldn't be fooled by a company stoolShe'd always organize the guysShe always got her wayWhen she struck for better pay.She'd show her card to the national guardAnd this is what she'd say.You gals who want to be freeJust take a little tip from me:Get you a man who's a union manAnd join the Ladies' Auxiliary*Married life ain't hardWhen you got a union card,And a union man has a happy lifeWhen 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.
