The previous post referred to a page from the online Sing Out! Song Index. According to this listing, the song was not written by Woody Guthrie. However... We might be talking about a different song with the same title. The Guthrie Archives catalogue mentions a song called Union Baby, but it would appear to be one of Woody's unpublished compositions, so finding the lyrics may be difficult. Jim Longhi's book ("Woody, Cisco and Me") has Woody referring to a song called Union Mattress, Union Baby. But Longhi had a few memory lapses in the book, so I would be a little suspicious of this title as printed. Jay
