I am a union woman
Just as brave as I can be
I do not like the bosses
And the bosses don't like me
Join the CIO
Come join the CIO
I was raised in old Kentucky
In Kentucky born and bred
And when I joined the union
They called me a Russian red
Join the CIO
Come join the CIO
When my husband asked the boss for a job
This is the words he said
"Well Bill Jackson I can't work you sir
Your wife's a Russian red"
Join the CIO
Come join the CIO
If you want to join a union
Just as strong as one can be
Join the dear old CIO
And come along with me
Join the CIO
Come join the CIO
The bosses ride fine horses
While we walk in the mud
Their banner is the dollar sign
And ours is striped with blood
Join the CIO
Come join the CIO
Join the CIO
Come join the CIO
