      G                          C         G   
There once was a union maid, she never was afraid,  
       C                   G   
of the goons and ginks and company finks,  
        A                   D7 
and the deputy sheriffs who made the raid.  
    G                              C              G   
She went to the union hall where a meeting it was called,  
    C                   G   
and when the boys would come up to her 
   A       D          G   
oh this is what she'd say. 
     
        C                                   G   
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,  
                    D                          G        G7   
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.  
        C                                   G   
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,  
                    D    D7              G   
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.  

         G                          C                 G   
Now this union maid was wise to the tricks of company spies,  
      C                  G   
she'd take the dare, she didn't care,  
      A           D7   
she'd always organize the guys.  
        G                             C              G   
And she always got her way when she'd ask for better pay.  
    C                      G   
She showed her card to the National Guard,  
      A       D          G 
honey this is what she'd say:  

        C                                   G   
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,  
                    D                          G        G7   
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.  
        C                                   G   
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,  
                    D    D7              G   
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.  

        G                             C               G   
Now you girls who wanna be free, just take a tip from me; 
   C                     G   
Oh get you a man who's a union man  
            A                D7   
and you can join the ladies' auxiliary.  
        G                                C           G   
Because married life ain't hard when you got a union card,  
      C               G                   A     D     G   
And a union life is a happy life when you got a union wife. 

        C                                   G   
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,  
                    D                          G        G7   
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.  
        C                                   G   
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,  
                    D    D7              G   
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.  Oh we gonna sing it again 

        C                                   G   
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,  
                    D                          G        G7   
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.  
        C                                   G   
Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,  
                    D    D7              G   
I'm sticking to the union 'til the day I die.
