lyrics

She went upstairs with a cold laugh
That did not extend to her eyes.
The union, oh, they called a strike
And her husband he crossed the picket line.

Her husband he went upstairs too
Saying: “Honey, oh, honey, what troubles you?
The union, oh, they called a strike
But I needed the money, pocket your doubts.”

She said: “It’s high time that you learned,
Solidarity means you take care of your own.
If the union, oh, they call a strike,
You spin idle or you stay at home!

They cut our wages and conditions,
The bosses fell over themselves in joy.
The union, then, they called a strike,
And we’ll hold out and put up a fight.

From my mouth to god’s ears,
The wildcat workers laid a picket down.
They organised and made their demands,
For united we bargain, divided we beg.”

Her husband he came home from work
Saying: “Where’s my honey? She seems so hurt.”
He went upstairs with pleas and excuses,
Quisling is as strikebreaker does.

She said: “A spade is a spade
And a scab is a scab;
Oh, if only the shame
Could act as a salve.”
