“It is for our little children/That seems to us so dear/But for us nor them, dear workers/The bosses do not care. But understand, all workers/Our union they do fear. Let’s stand together, workers/And have a union here.”

“The Mill Mother’s Lament,” sung by Pete Seeger

“I’m on a campaign to make you mine/I’ll picket you until you sign/In one big union for two/No courts and junction can make me stop/Until your love is all closed shop/In one big union for two/Seven days a week I want the right/To call you mine both day and night/The hours may be long/But fifty million union members can’t be wrong”

From the song “One Big Union For Two” in the Broadway musical “Pins & Needles”
