Picket Sign

Lyrics

[Intro] Ahem, ahem [Chorus] Everybody stand up and holler for the union Let's give the brotherhood a cheer Everybody stand up and holler for the union I ain't hit a lick all year (Ahem) [Verse 1] Worked in the mill and I worked on the dock I worked for the railroad line Before I hit a lick under union scale I'll carry this picket sign [Chorus] Everybody stand up and holler for the union Let's give the brotherhood a cheer Everybody stand up and holler for the union I ain't hit a lick all year (Ahem) [Verse 2] Money's all gone and I'll admit Got holes in both of my shoes But I'm still a-smoking this big cigar And a-paying my union dues [Chorus] Everybody stand up and holler for the union Let's give the brotherhood a cheer Everybody stand up and holler for the union I ain't hit a lick all year (Ahem) [Verse 3] Lived on baloney nearly all of my life A-waiting for a higher wage I never had a taste of a t-bone steak 'Cause a steer ain't union made [Verse 4] Too old to work, too broke to quit When I get to the end of the line I may walk into a pauper's grave But I'll carry this picket sign [Chorus] Everybody stand up and holler for the union Let's give the brotherhood a cheer Everybody stand up and holler for the union I ain't hit a lick all year (Ahem) Everybody stand up and holler for the union Let's give the brotherhood a cheer Everybody stand up and holler for the union I ain't hit a lick all year [Outro] I want a lick Hey, hey, let's give the brotherhood a cheer Come on fellas Two cents an hour Heya, that's alright Leo
