I'm gonna write you a letter, babe o' mine,
I'm a-gonna write you a letter, babe o' mine.
I'm a-gonna write you a letter just as quick as times get better,
But I've gotta get organized, babe o' mine!
I'm goin' 'round this world, babe o' mine,
I'm a-goin' around this world, babe o' mine,
I'm a-goin' 'round it once and I'm goin' 'round it twice,
And I'm a-gonna get organized, babe o' mine!

It was on a Saturday night and the moon was shing bright
They passed the conscription bill
And the people they did say for many miles away
'Twas the President and his boys on Capitol Hill

Oh, Franklin Roosevelt told the people how he felt
We damned near believed what he said
He said, ""I hate war, and so does Eleanor

'Tis advertised in Boston, New York, and Buffalo:
Five hundred brave Americans a-whalin' for to go

Singing Blow ye winds in the morning
Blow ye winds, high-ho
Clear away your runnin' gear
And blow, boys, blow
(Or: And blow, ye winds high-ho!)

Let me tell you of a sailor, Harry Bridges is his name
An honest union leader who the bosses tried to frame
He left home in Australia to sail the seas around
He sailed across the ocean to land in 'Frisco town

There was only a company union, the bosses had their way
A worker had to stand in line for a lousy dollar a day
When up spoke Harry Bridges, ""Us workers got to get wise

There once was a union maid, she never was afraid
Of goons and ginks and company finks and the deputy sheriffs who made the raid.
She went to the union hall when a meeting it was called,
And when the Legion boys come 'round
She always stood her ground.

Oh, you can't scare me, I'm sticking to the union,
I'm sticking to the union, I'm sticking to the union.
