Now, there oGnce was a union maid, she nCever was aGfraid,
of the Cgoons and the ginks and the Gcompany finks,
and the Adeputy sheriffs who D7made the raid.
She wGent to the union hall, where a Cmeeting it was cGalled,
and Cwhen the boys would Gcome up to her
oh Athis is Dwhat she'd Gsay.
Oh, you Ccan't scare me, I'm sticking to the Gunion,
I'm stickin' to the Dunion, I'm stickin' to the Gunion. G7
Oh, you Ccan't scare me, I'm stickin' to the Gunion,
I'm stickin' to the DunionD7'til the day I Gdie.
Now this Gunion maid was wise to the Ctricks of company Gspies,
she'd Ctake the dare, she Gdidn't care,
she'd Aalways organD7ize the guys.
And she Galways got her way when she'd Cask for better Gpay.
She Cshowed her card to the GNational Guard,
honey, Athis is Dwhat she'd Gsay:
Oh, you Ccan't scare me, I'm sticking to the Gunion,
I'm stickin' to the Dunion, I'm stickin' to the Gunion. G7
Oh, you Ccan't scare me, I'm stickin' to the Gunion,
I'm stickin' to the DunionD7'til the day I Gdie.

Now you Ggirls who wanna be free, just Ctake a tip from Gme;
Oh Cget you a man who's a Gunion man
and you can Ajoin the ladies' auxiliD7ary.
Because Gmarried life ain't hard when you Cgot a union Gcard,
And a Cunion life is a Ghappy life when you Agot a Dunion Gwife.
Oh, you Ccan't scare me, I'm sticking to the Gunion,
I'm stickin' to the Dunion, I'm stickin' to the Gunion. G7
Oh, you Ccan't scare me, I'm stickin' to the Gunion,
I'm stickin' to the DunionD7'til the day I Gdie. Oh, we're gonna sing it again
Oh, you Ccan't scare me, I'm sticking to the Gunion,
I'm stickin' to the Dunion, I'm stickin' to the Gunion. G7
Oh, you Ccan't scare me, I'm stickin' to the Gunion,
I'm stickin' to the DunionD7'til the day I Gdie.
