[Intro]
G C G
Now, there once was a union maid, she never was afraid,
C G
of the goons and the ginks and the company finks,
A D7
and the deputy sheriffs who made the raid.
G C G
She went to the union hall, where a meeting it was called,
C G
and when the boys would come up to her
A D G
oh this is what she'd say.
[Chorus]
C G
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
D G G7
I'm stickin' to the union, I'm stickin' to the union.
C G
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm stickin' to the union,
D D7 G
I'm stickin' to the union 'til the day I die.
[Verse 2]
G C G
Now this union maid was wise to the tricks of company spies,
C G
she'd take the dare, she didn't care,
A D7
she'd always organize the guys.
G C G
And she always got her way when she'd ask for better pay.
C G
She showed her card to the National Guard,
A D G
honey, this is what she'd say:
[Chorus]
C G
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
D G G7
I'm stickin' to the union, I'm stickin' to the union.
C G
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm stickin' to the union,
D D7 G
I'm stickin' to the union 'til the day I die.

G C G
Now you girls who wanna be free, just take a tip from me;
C G
Oh get you a man who's a union man
A D7
and you can join the ladies' auxiliary.
G C G
Because married life ain't hard when you got a union card,
C G A D G
And a union life is a happy life when you got a union wife.
[Chorus]
C G
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
D G G7
I'm stickin' to the union, I'm stickin' to the union.
C G
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm stickin' to the union,
D D7 G
I'm stickin' to the union 'til the day I die. Oh, we're gonna sing it again
[Chorus]
C G
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
D G G7
I'm stickin' to the union, I'm stickin' to the union.
C G
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm stickin' to the union,
D D7 G
I'm stickin' to the union 'til the day I die.
