Redwing! That's a great old tune and here are the words to it:
UNION MAID - By Woodie Guthrie
There once was a union maid, who never was afraid
Of goons and ginks and company finks and the deputy sherriff
who made the raids
She went to the Union hall, When a meeting it was called,
And when the company boys came round, she always stood her ground
Chorus
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm stickin to the Union,
I'm stickin to the Union,
I'm stickin to the Union,
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm stickin to the Union
Till the day I die
This union maid was wise
To the tricks of the company spies
She'd never be fooled by the company stolls
She'd always organize the guys
She'd always get her way
When she struck for higher pay
She'd show her card to the National Guard
and this is what she'd say...
You women who want to be free
Take a little tip from me
break outa that mold we've all been sold, you got a fighting
history
The fight for women's rights, with workers must unite
Like Mother Jones, move those bones to the front of every
fight.
A woman's struggle is hard,
Even with a union card,
She's got to stand on her own two feet
And not be a servant of a male elite.
It's time to take a stand,
Keep working hand in hand,
There is a job that's got to be done
Welcome Redwing
