The Picketline Song -- Evan Greer Chords are the same the whole way through! (chorus) G C G oh i would never walk across a picket line D solidarity forever don't mean just sometimes G so long live the union! C G cross my heart and hope to die G Em D G if I should ever walk across a picket line well my mother never told me what was right or what was wrong she never taught me to play guitar never taught me to write songs but one thing that she taught me i'll remember for all time and that's that you should never walk across a picket line (chorus) she took me to a factory where the workers were on strike the company had called in scabs to break the union's might my mum went to the front and addressed those greedy swine sayin' �i dare any of you men to walk across this picket line!� (chorus) well one of them came forward and he had something to say: �no woman will stand between me and one day's pay! i don't care 'bout the others i am taking what is mine� and with that he tried to walk across our picket line (chorus) mom called him a dirty scab, gave him two pieces of her mind she picked up and she threw every rock that she could find and when he called the cops on her she kicked his behind sayin' �that's what you get when you walk across a union's picket line!� (chorus) well to this day i can remember what my momma used to say: �we're fighting for a better world, not just for better pay and if we stick together then we'll win this fight in time so long as we don't walk across each other's picket lines� --MiScHiEf BrEw--
