When my youngest child was about three she loved the Woody Guthrie song "Union Maid" and once sang it at the fellowship hall at our church when someone made the mistake of leaving a microphone turned on... we were quite embarassed, but she was loving all the eyes on her, the blue haired ladies didn't appreciate the lyrics! Here they are, as best as I can remember them....

There once was a union maid who never was afraid Of the goons and the ginks and the company finks and the deputy sheriff who made the raid

She went to the union hall, where the meeting it was called.... And when the company boys came round, she always stood her ground

Chorus: well you can't scare me I'm stickin to the union , stickin to the union....To the union till the day I die.
