You oil field workers, come and listen to me

I'm goin' to tell you a story about old John D.
|
That company union made a fool out of me.
|
That company union don't charge no dues
|
It leaves you a-singing them Rockefeller blues.
|
That company union made a fool out of me.
|
|
Takes that good ole C.I.O., boys
|
To keep that oil a-rollin', rollin' over the sea.
|
Takes that good ole C.I.O., boys
|
To keep that oil a-rollin' over the sea.

Drilling oil to beat Japan

But the company union don't give a damn.
|
That company union made a fool out of me.
|
The oil field workers and the NMU

Going to beat Hitler, and damn quick, too.

Tanks can't roll if the oil don't flow.

Canada to Mexico
|
They're joining up with the C.I.O.
|
That company union made a fool out of me.

|
C.I.O. is the place for me
|
When this war is over, I want to be free
|
That company union made a fool out of me.
|
I'm a union man in a union war
|
It's a union land I'm a-fightin' for.
|
That company union made a fool out of me.
