“My Union Stands by Me” Karaoke (midi with lyrics).
Lyrics: Julie McCall.
Tune: “Stand by Me.”
When the boss calls me in,
And the axe is about to fall,
And the pink slip is all that I can see,
I’m not afraid; no, I’m not afraid
’Cause I know the union stands by me.
Oh, brothers, sisters, stand by me;
Oh, stand by me;
I know my union stands by me.
When I’m pulled off my job,
And they want to conference me,
And a grievance form is what I really need,
I’m not uptight at all.
’Cause I’ll just give my steward a call,
And I know that my union stands by me.
Oh, brothers, sisters, stand by me;
Oh, stand by me;
I know my union stands by me.
Well, the time has come
When we all must organize
’Cause a union is our only remedy;
So, I’ll go, spread the word,
And let my voice be heard
’Cause I know that my union stands by me.
Oh, brothers, sisters, stand by me;
Oh, stand by me;
I know my union stands by me.
