[Verse 1]
There once was a union maid
Who never was afraid
Of the goons and the ginks and the company finks
And the deputy sheriffs who made the raid
She went to the union hall
When a meeting, it was called
And when those company goons came round
She always held her ground
[Chorus]
Oh you can't scare me, I’m sticking with the union
I'm sticking with the Union, I'm sticking with the union
Oh you can’t scare me, I'm sticking with the union
I'm sticking with the union, 'til the day I die
[Verse 2]
This union maid was wise
To the tricks of company spies
She couldn't be fooled by the company stools
She'd always organize the guys
She always got her way
When she struck for higher pay
She'd show her card to the national guard
And this is what she'd say
There once was a union maid
Who never was afraid
Of the goons and the ginks and the company finks
And the deputy sheriffs who made the raid
She went to the union hall
When a meeting, it was called
And when those company goons came round
She always held her ground
[Chorus]
Oh you can't scare me, I’m sticking with the union
I'm sticking with the Union, I'm sticking with the union
Oh you can’t scare me, I'm sticking with the union
I'm sticking with the union, 'til the day I die
[Verse 2]
This union maid was wise
To the tricks of company spies
She couldn't be fooled by the company stools
She'd always organize the guys
She always got her way
When she struck for higher pay
She'd show her card to the national guard
And this is what she'd say
