Woody Guthrie - Union Maid

Tweet

	 C F  C
 There once was a union maid, she never was afraid,
  G C
 of goons and ginks and company finks,
 D G
 and the deputy sheriffs who made the raid.
  C  F C
 She went to the union hall when a meeting it was called,
 G C
 and when the Legion boys come 'round
 F  G  C
 she always stood her ground.

 F  C
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
 G  C C7
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.
 F  C
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
 G G7 C
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.

 C  F C
 This union maid was wise to the tricks of company spies,
  G C
 she couldn't be fooled by a company stool,
  D G
 she'd always organize the guys.
  C F  C
 She always got her way when she struck for better pay.
  G  C
 She'd show her card to the National Guard,
  D  G
 and this is what she'd say:

  C  F  C
  You gals who want to be free, just take a tip from me,
 G  C
  Get you a man who's a union man
 D  G
 and join the ladies' auxiliary.
  C F C
 Married life ain't hard when you got a union card,
 G  C D  G C
 A union man has a happy life when he's got a union wife.
