Union Hoot: The Scabs Crawl In / We Pity Our Bosses Five / Keep That Line A-Moving / Join the Picket Line Today

Well the scabs crawl in, the scabs crawl out
The scabs crawl under and all about
They crawl by day, they crawl by night
They crawl because they're afraid to fight
They crawl in early, they crawl in late

(We pity our bosses five)
We pity our bosses five
We pity our bosses five
A thousand a week is all they get
How can they stay alive?

We pity the bosses son
We pity the bosses son
He rides around in a Cadillac
That lousy son of a gun

We pity the bosses wife
We pity the bosses wife
She's all dressed up and self???
What a hell of a wife

(The Gospel train)
Now the union train is coming
I hear it close ahead
I hear the car wheels moving
And rumbling through the land
The fare is cheap and all can go
No color line is there
No second class to board this train
No difference in the fare

Keep that line a-movin'
Keep that line a-movin'
Keep that line a-movin'
There's room for many a-more

We've got so many blisters
From walking up and down
The boss has got some blisters too
But just from sitting down

And why should we be slavin'
While he??? (He's a western union boss)
To plan to coming(?) to a party
Where his daughter???

Keep that line a-movin'
Keep that line a-movin'
Keep that line a-movin'
There's room for many a-more

The union is behind us
To fight for better pay
We'll stay right here at the picket line
Till the bosses hair is gray

And though he'll try to break us
And try to make it tough
If we just keep a solid line
We'll surely call his bluff

Keep that line a-movin'
Keep that line a-movin'
Keep that line a-movin'
There's room for many a-more

(Join the picket line today)
Come on along, come on along
You're on the picket line today
Come on along, come on along
Join the strike for higher pay

And when the scabs try to break us; here's what we say
"Shame on you scab???, you work our???
We'll win our raise the union way
In spite of you"

Come on along, come on along
Join the picket line today
Come on along, come on along
Join the strike for higher pay

And when the boss is sure he's got us slick
We'll still be slicker
Come on along, come on along
Join the picket line today
