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