Thread Name: Need missing lines to UAW/CIO
Subject: Need missing lines to UAW/CIO
I used to know knew all the words to "UAW/CIO," a union/World War II song by Baldwin Hawes but I can't recall a couple of lines:
(Chorus) Oh it's that UAW/CIO That makes the Army roll and go Turning out the Jeeps and tanks And airplanes every day. Oh it's that UAW/CIO That makes the Army roll and go Puts wheels On the USA.
(Verse) I was standing down on Gratiot Street one day When I thought I overheard a soldier say: Every tank in our camp has that UAW stamp And I'm UAW, too,I'm proud to say
CHORUS
(Verse) Missing line Missing line I was down in Cadillac Square at the union rally there When we put those plans for pleasure cars away.
CHORUS
(Verse) There'll be a union meeting in Berlin When our union boys in uniform roll in And rolling through the ranks, there'll be UAW tanks To roll Hitler out and roll the union in.
