I'm gonna join that one big union
I'm gonna join it by myself
Don't want nobody to join it for me
I'm gonna join the one big union by myself
And if that road gets rough and rocky
And the hills get steep and high
We will sing as we go marching
And we'll win the one big union by-and-by
You gotta join that one big union
You gotta join it by yourself
Everybody here will join it with you
You gotta join that one big union by yourself
Brothers gotta join that one big union
Brothers gotta join it by hisself
Everybody here will join it with him
Brothers join that one big union by hisself
Sisters gotta join that one big union
Sisters gotta join it by yourself
Everybody here will join it with her
Sisters gotta join that one big union by herself
And if that road gets rough and rocky
And the hills get steep and high
We will sing as we go marching
And we'll win the one big union by-and-by
