I Guess I Planted

"I guess I planted some long lonesome seed of a song Way down inside me long ago And now I can't remember when it was But it joined up with the rest of them and grows It's such a little song it don't compare With all your big ones you hear everywhere But when it dawns way in the back of your mind The big ones are made up of the little kind Union song, union battled All added up won us all what we got now Union song, union battled All added up won us all what we got now I can't even start to look around me here Without hearing this song And seeing all of us first separated Hurt apart and afraid Hungry for the union And so we kept on Singing and working, fighting till we got it And this is the big union song I guess I hear Union song, union battled All added up won us all what we got now Union song, union battled All added up won us all what we got now We fought there at your place We fought there on your ship And I guess if you missed out on The fight for our union You missed out on one awful big step Us people took Union song, union battled All added up won us all what we got now Union song, union battled All added up won us all what we got now Union song, union battled All added up won us all what we got now Union song, union battled All added up won us all what we got now "
