Union Maid Songtext
von Pete Seeger

There once was a union maid, she never was afraid
Of the goons and the ginks and the company finks
And the deputy sheriffs that made the raid
She went to the union hall when a meeting, it was called
And when the company boys come 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'd never be fooled by a company stool
She′d always organize the guys
She'd always get her way when she asked for better 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

Now, you gals who want to be free,
You gotta take a little tip from me
Get you a man who's a union man and fight together for liberty
′Cause married life ain't hard if you got a union card
And a union man has a happy life if 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

Oh, one more time

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
