SONGS OF REVOLUTIONS; UNION MAID

UNION MAID

There once was a union maid who never was afraid
Of goons and ginks and 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

chorus:
O you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union
O 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 company spies
She never got fooled by a company stool, she'd always organize the guys
She always got her way, when she struck for higher pay
She'd show her card to the company guard and this is what she'd say:

chorus

You women who want to be free, take a little tip from me
Break outa that mold we've all been sold, you got a fighting his-to-ree
The fight for women's rights with workers must unite
Like Mother Jones, move those bones to the front of every fight!
