	A	Bm	A
	Take a trip with me in	nineteen	thirteen

	D	G	A
To	Calumet, Michigan, in the	copper countr	y.

	Bm	A
I'll take you to a place called It	alian	Hall

	D	G	A
Where the	miners are h	aving their big Christmas	ball.

	A	Bm	A
	I'll take you through a door, and	up a high	stairs.

	D	G	A
Sin	ging and dancing is	heard every	where,

	Bm	A
I will let you shake hands with the	people you	see

	D	G	A
And	watch the kids d	ance round that big Christmas	tree.

	Bm	A
You ask about work and you	ask about	pay;

	D	G	A
The	y'll tell you that they make less than a	dollar a d	ay,

	Bm	A
Working the copper claims, ris	king their	lives,

	D	G	A
So it's	fun to spend	Christmas with children and w	ives.

	A	Bm	A
	There's talking and laughing	and songs	in the air,

	D	G	A
And	the spirit of Christmas is	there every	where,

	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 real	ize

	D	G	A
That the	copper-boss thu	g-men are milling outs	ide.

	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 f	ire!"

	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 th	ing."

	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 y	ou."

	Bm	A
A man grabbed his daughter and ca	rried 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 fl	oor.

	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."
