Busbitter,

Coincidently, I have been researching through old threads to find different variations of "Union Maid" (just a different take on "Part of the Union") for a gentleman at work who sings the song acapella to us at dinner almost every night, being a union shop afterall. He rarely sings the song the same way twice, adding or subtracting whole stanzas as he sees fit to offhandedly comment on current company/union relations. We all join in the chorus though when he does this. I plan to sit down with him and tape as many variations as he has the patience to recall and send you a transcript. This is a true folksong because people sing it any way they choose. Also, if you haven't already done the obvious, checkout all the threads for "Union" or "Union Maid."
