A Bm A
Take a trip with me in nineteen thirteen
D G A
To Calumet Michigan in the copper country
Bm A
I'll take you to a place called Italian Hall
D G A
Where the miners are having their big Christmas ball
A Bm A
I'll take you through a door and up a high stairs
D G A
Singing and dancing is heard everywhere
Bm A
I will let you shake hands with the people you see
D G A
And watch the kids dance round that big Christmas tree
Bm A
You ask about work and you ask about pay
D G A
They'll tell you that they make less than a dollar a day
Bm A
Working the copper claims risking their lives
D G A
So it's fun to spend Christmas with children and wives
A Bm A
There's talking and laughing and songs in the air
D G A
And the spirit of Christmas is there everywhere
Bm A
Before you know it you're friends with us all
D G A
And you're dancing around and around in the hall
A Bm A
Well a little girl sits down by the Christmas tree lights
D G A
To play the piano so you gotta keep quiet
Bm A
To hear all this fun you would not realize
D G A
That the copper-boss thug-men are milling outside
A Bm A
The copper-boss thugs stuck their heads in the door
D G A
One of them yelled and he screamed There's a fire
Bm A
A lady she hollered There's no such a thing
D G A
Keep on with your party there's no such a thing
A Bm A
A few people rushed and it was only a few
D G A
It's only the thugs and the scabs fooling you
Bm A
A man grabbed his daughter and carried her down
D G A
But the thugs held the door and they could not get out
A Bm A
And then others followed a hundred or more
D G A
But most everybody remained on the floor
Bm A
The gun-thugs they laughed at their murderous joke
D G A
While the children were smothered on the stair by the door
A Bm A
Such a terrible sight I never did see
D G A
We carried our children back up to their tree
Bm A
The scabs outside still laughed at their spree
D G A
And the children that died there were seventy-three
A Bm A
The piano played a slow funeral tune
D G A
And the town was lit up by a cold Christmas moon
Bm A
The parents they cried and the miners they moaned
D G A
See what your greed for money has done
