Steve Cropper - Union Man lyrics

Well, it's six a.m. I'm out on the job Working like a fool For my pay A big man walks by With a smile Says you got to go On strike today Hey, hey, Mr. union man How am I gonna pay my dues Or the landlord or the doctor How am I getting new shoes Well, I know I need To help to get that raise There's one thing I don't like Tell me how can I Feed my hungry family I you say I'm going on strike Hey, hey, Mr. union man How am I gonna pay my dues Owe more money than I can pay Looks like I'm bound to lose Well, I don't see how I'm going to get ahead Seem like there ain't no way Well, said don't worry Cause I understand Won't you try to See things my way Hey, hey, Mr. union man Thank you for the helping hand Hey, hey, Mr. union man So glad you understand Hey, hey, Mr. union man So glad that you understand Hey, hey, Mr. union man Thank you for the helping hand Hey, hey, Mr. union man So glad that you understand
