[00:19.000] There once was a union maid, she never was afraid
[00:24.000] Of goons and ginks and company finks and the deputy sheriffs who made the raid.
[00:29.000] She went to the union hall when a meeting it was called,
[00:33.000] And when the Legion boys come 'round
[00:35.000] She always stood her ground.
[00:38.000] Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
[00:42.000] I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.
[00:46.000] Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
[00:51.000] I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.
[00:56.000] This union maid was wise to the tricks of company spies,
[01:01.000] She couldn't be fooled by a company stool, she'd always organize the guys.
[01:06.000] She always got her way when she struck for better pay.
[01:10.000] She'd show her card to the National Guard
[01:13.000] And this is what she'd say:
[01:14.000] Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
[01:18.000] I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.
[01:23.000] Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
[01:28.000] I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.
[1:34.000] You gals who want to be free, just take a tip from me;
[1:39.000] Get you a man who's a union man and join the ladies' auxiliary.
[1:44.000] Married life ain't hard when you got a union card,
[1:48.000] A union man has a happy life when he's got a union wife.
[01:53.000] Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
[01:56.000] I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.
[02:01.000] Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
[02:06.000] I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.
