UAW-CIO by The Union Boys Lyrics

Genre: country | Year: 2020

I was hangin' 'round a defense town one day
(one day)
When I thought I overheard a soldier say
(soldier say)
"Every tank in my camp has that UAW stamp
And I'm UAW too I'm proud to say"

It's that UAW-CIO
Make that army roll and go
Turning out the jeeps and tanks
The airplanes everyday
It's that UAW-CIO
Make that army roll and go
Puts wheels on the USA

I was there when the union came to town
(came to town)
I was there when old Henry Ford went down
(went down)
I was standing by Gate Four
When I heard the people roar
"They ain't gonna kick the autoworkers around"
It's that UAW-CIO
Make that army roll and go
Turning out the jeeps and tanks
Thе airplanes everyday
It's that UAW-CIO
Makе that army roll and go
Puts wheels on the USA

I was there on that cold December day
(December day)
When we heard about Pearl Harbor far away
(far away)
I was down in Cadillac square when the union rallied there
To put those plans for pleasure cars away

It's that UAW-CIO
Make that army roll and go
Turning out the jeeps and tanks
The airplanes everyday
It's that UAW-CIO
Make that army roll and go
Puts wheels on the USA

They'll be a union label in Berlin
(in Berlin)
When the union boys in uniform march in
(march in)
And rollin' in the ranks, they'll be UAW tanks
Roll Hitler out and roll the union in
It's that UAW-CIO
Make that army roll and go
Turning out the jeeps and tanks
The airplanes everyday
It's that UAW-CIO
Make that army roll and go
Puts wheels on the USA
