Talking Union - Pete Seeger/The Weavers
If you want higher wages let me
Tell you what to do
You got to talk to the
Workers in the shop with you
You got to build you a
Union got to make it strong
But if you all stick
Together now won't he long
You'll get shorter hours

Better working conditions

Vacations with pay
Take your kids to the seashore

It ain't quite this simple
So I better explain
Just why you got to ride
On the union train
Cause if you wait for
The boss to raise your pay
We'll all be waiting
Till Judgment Day
We'll all he buried gone to Heaven

Saint Peter'll be the straw boss then

Now you know you're
Underpaid hut the boss says you ain't
He speeds up the work
Till you're about to faint
You may he down and out but you ain't beaten
Pass out a leaflet and call a meetin'
Talk it over speak your mind

Decide to do something about it

Course the boss may
Persuade some poor damn fool
To go to your meeting
And act like a stool
But you can always
Tell a stool though that's a fact
He's got a yellow streak
Running down his back
He doesn't have to stool

He'll always get long

On what he takes
Out of blind men's cups

You got a union now
You're sitting pretty

Put some of the boys
On the steering committee
The boss won't listen
When one man squawks
But he's got to listen
When the union talks he better

He'll be mighty lonely everybady
Dicide work out on him

Suppose they're working
You so hard it's
Just outrageous
They're paying you
All starvation wages
You go to the boss
And the boss would yell
Before I'd raise your pay
I'd see you all in Hell
Well he's puffing a big
Seegar and feeling mighty slick
He thinks he's got
Your union licked

He looks out the window
And what does he see
But a thousand pickets
And they all agree
He's a bastard unfair slave driver

Bet he beats his own wife

Now boy you've come
To the hardest time

The boss will try to
Bust your picket line
He'll call out the police
The National Guard
They'll tell you
It's a crime to have a union card
They'll raid your meeting
Hit you on the head
Call every one of you a goddamn Red
Unpatriotic Japanese biees

Bomb throwers even the kids

But out in Detroit here's
What they found
And out in Frisco here's
What they found
And out in Pittsburgh
Here's what they found
And down in Bethlehem
Here's what they found
That if you don't let
Red baiting break you up
If you don't let
Stool pigeons break you up
If you don't let
Vigilantes break you up
And if you don't
Let race hatred break you up
You'll win what I mean
Take it easy but take it
