Union Maid
Empowering Anthem: Defiant Union Maid Stands Strong
Lyrics
There once was a union maid, she never was afraid
Introduction of a fearless union maid who was never afraid of opposition.
Of goons and ginks and company finks and the deputy sheriffs who made the raid
Listing various adversaries like goons, ginks, company finks, and deputy sheriffs who attempted to disrupt union activities.
She went to the union hall, when a meeting, it was called
Describing her attendance at union meetings when called.
When the company boys come 'round
Highlighting her resilience when company representatives visited.
She always stood her ground
Emphasizing her determination to stand firm against challenges.
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union
Expressing her unwavering commitment to the union, not easily intimidated.
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 'til the day I die
-This union maid was wise to the tricks of company spies
Acknowledging her awareness of tactics used by company spies.
She couldn't be fooled by a company stool, she'd always organize the guys
Highlighting her ability to see through deceit and her dedication to organizing fellow workers.
She always got her way when she struck for better pay
Illustrating her success in negotiating for better wages.
She'd show her card to the National Guard
Referring to her willingness to confront authorities, such as the National Guard.
And this is what she'd say
Quoting her statement in such confrontations.
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union
Reaffirmation of her dedication to the union, even in the face of intimidation.
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 'til the day I die
-So if you want to be free, just take a tip from me
Advising others to join the union for freedom and solidarity.
Hand in hand, we'll take a stand
Advocating unity and collective action.
I'm for you and you're for me
Emphasizing mutual support between union members.
Life is never hard when you got a union card
Stating that life is easier with a union membership card.
We'll hold the line 'til the end of time
Commitment to holding the line and sharing power among union members.
The power's yours and mine
-Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union
Reiteration of unwavering commitment 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 'til the day I die
-Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union
Final reassertion of dedication 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 'til the day I die
