Union Songs
A Union Man
A song by Julius Margolin©2002 Julius Margolin
When I die throw my ashes to the winds
When I die throw my ashes to the winds
When I die throw my ashes to the winds
I've lived my life the best way I canI've always been a hardworking man
I've always been a hardworking man
I've always been a hardworking man
I've lived my life the best way I canI've always been a damn good union man
I've always been a damn good union man
I've always been a damn good union man
I've lived my life the best way I canI've been a seaman, electrician, and in construction too
On assembly lines and factories and did some farming too
Fought company scabs, union-busting laws, walked many a picket line
For musicians, electricians, and workers in the minesSo when I die throw my ashes to the winds
When I die throw my ashes to the winds
When I die throw my ashes to the winds
I've lived my life the best way I can
Proud to live my life the best way I can
