Verse 1
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
Take a trip with me in 1913
C C 
 
To Cullinan, Michigan,
in the Copper Country
G G 
 
I'll take you to a place
C C 
 
G G 
 
called the Italian Mall
C C 
 
Where miners are having
D D 
 
G G 
 
their big Christmas ball
I'll take you to a door
D D 
 
G G 
 
and up a flight of stairs
C C 
 
Singing and dancing are there everywhere
G G 
 
I'll let you shake hands
C C 
 
G G 
 
with the people you see
C C 
 
And watch the kids dance
D D 
 
G G 
 
around the big Christmas tree
You ask about work and you
D D 
 
G G 
 
ask about pay
C C 
 
They'll tell you they make
G G 
 
only a dollar a day
Workin' the copper planes
C C 
 
G G 
 
and riskin' their lives
C C 
 
So it's fun to spend Christmas
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
with children and  wives
G G 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
The copper balls spurned,
D D 
 
G G 
 
stuck their heads in the door
C C 
 
G G 
 
One of them yelled, look out, there's a fire
A lady, she hollered,
C C 
 
G G 
 
there's no such thing
C C 
 
Get on with your party,
D D 
 
G G 
 
there's no such thing
A few people rushed,
D D 
 
G G 
 
but it was only a few
C C 
 
G G 
 
It's just the thugs and scabs fooling you
A man grabbed his daughter
C C 
 
G G 
 
and he carried her down
C C 
 
But the thugs held the door
D D 
 
G G 
 
and he couldn't get out
And then others followed
D D 
 
G G 
 
up a little more
C C 
 
G G 
 
But most everybody remained on the floor
The gun thugs,
C C 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
they laughed at their murderous joke
C C 
 
While the children were smothered
D D 
 
G G 
 
in the stairs by the door
C C 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
Such a terrible sight, I  never did see
C C 
 
We carried the children
G G 
 
back up to their tree
The scraps outside were
C C 
 
G G 
 
laughing at their spree
C C 
 
And the children that died
D D 
 
G G 
 
there were seventy -three
D D 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
The jungle played a slow funeral tune
C C 
 
While the town was lit up
G G 
 
by a cold Christmas moon
The parents they cried
D D 
 
G G 
 
and the binders they moaned
C C 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
See what your grief only has done
C C 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
G G 
 
C C 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
G G 
 
Keep forward
