1913 Massacre - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

Written by：Trad;ArrGuthrie[00:00:00]

Take a trip with me in 1913[00:00:05]

To Calumet Michigan in the copper country[00:00:10]

I'll take you to a place called Italian Hall[00:00:14]

When the miners are having their big Christmas ball[00:00:20]

I will take you in a door and up a high stairs[00:00:28]

Singing and dancing is heard everywhere[00:00:32]

I will let you shake hands with the people you see[00:00:37]

And watch the kids dance around the big Christmas tree[00:00:43]

You ask about work and you ask about pay[00:00:51]

They'll tell you they make less than a dollar a day[00:00:56]

Working the copper claims risking their lives[00:01:01]

So it's fun to spend christmas with children and wives[00:01:05]

There's talking and laughing and songs in the air[00:01:13]

And the spirit of Christmas is there everywhere[00:01:17]

Before you know it you're friends with us all[00:01:22]

And you're dancing around and around in the hall[00:01:26]

Well a little girl sits down by the Christmas tree lights[00:01:34]

To play the piano so you gotta keep quiet[00:01:37]

To hear all this fun you would not realize[00:01:41]

That the copper boss thug men are milling outside[00:01:45]

The copper boss thugs stuck their heads in the door[00:01:52]

One of them yelled and he screamed there's a fire[00:01:56]

A lady she hollered there's no such a thing[00:02:00]

Keep on with your party there's no such thing[00:02:04]

A few people rushed and it was only a few[00:02:10]

It's just the thugs and the scabs fooling you[00:02:13]

A man grabbed his daughter and carried her down[00:02:18]

But the thugs held the door and he could not get out[00:02:22]

And then others followed a hundred or more[00:02:29]

But most everybody remained on the floor[00:02:32]

The gun thugs they laughed at their murderous joke[00:02:36]

While the children were smothered on the stairs by the door[00:02:40]

Such a terrible sight I never did see[00:02:46]

We carried our children back up to their tree[00:02:50]

The scabs outside still laughed at their spree[00:02:55]

And the children that died there were seventy-three[00:03:01]

The piano played a slow funeral tune[00:03:08]

And the town was lit up by a cold Christmas moon[00:03:12]

The parents they cried and the miners they moaned[00:03:17]

See what your greed for money has done[00:03:24]
