There once was a union maid, she never was afraid<br>
Of goons and ginks and company finks and the deputy sheriffs who made the raid.<br>
She went to the union hall when a meeting it was called,<br>
And when the Legion (company) boys come 'round<br>
She always stood her ground.<br>

Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,<br>
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.<br>
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,<br>
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.<br>
<br>
This union maid was wise to the tricks of company spies,<br>
She couldn't be fooled by a company stool, she'd always organize the guys.<br>
She always got her way when she struck for better pay.<br>
She'd show her card to the National Guard<br>
And this is what she'd say<br>

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