1913 Massacre - Ramblin' Jack Elliott[00:00:00]

Take a trip with me in nineteen thirteen[00:00:01]

To Calumet Michigan in the copper country[00:00:08]

I'll take you to place called Italian Hall[00:00:17]

And the miners are having their big Christmas ball[00:00:24]

I'll take you in a door and up a high stairs[00:00:35]

Singing and dancing is heard everywhere[00:00:40]

I will let you shake hands with the people you see[00:00:45]

And watch the kids dance 'round[00:00:51]

The big Christmas tree[00:00:56]

There's talkin' and laughin' and songs in the air[00:01:01]

And the spirit of Christmas is there everywhere[00:01:06]

Before you know it you're friends with us all[00:01:12]

And you're dancing around and around in the hall[00:01:19]

You ask about work and you ask about pay[00:01:30]

They'll tell you [00:01:34]

They make less than a dollar a day[00:01:35]

Working the copper claims risking their lives[00:01:39]

So it's fun to spend Christmas[00:01:46]

With children and wives[00:01:51]

A little girl sits down[00:01:54]

By the Christmas tree lights[00:01:55]

To play the piano so you gotta keep quiet[00:01:58]

To hear all this fun you had not realize[00:02:02]

That the copper-boss thug-men[00:02:10]

They are milling outside[00:02:14]

The copper-boss thugs stuck their heads in the door[00:02:16]

One of them yelled and he screamed "There's a fire"[00:02:20]

A lady she hollered "There's no such a thing[00:02:25]

Keep on with your party there's no such a thing"[00:02:32]

A few people rushed and it's only a few[00:02:40]

It's just the thugs and the scabs fooling you[00:02:44]

A man grabbed his daughter and carried her down[00:02:49]

But the thugs held the door and he could not get out[00:02:55]

And then others followed a hundred or more[00:03:02]

Most everybody remained on the floor[00:03:06]

The gun-thugs they laughed at their murderous joke[00:03:11]

And the children were smothered[00:03:18]

On the stair by the door[00:03:23]

Such a terrible sight I never did see[00:03:26]

We carried our children back up to their tree[00:03:31]

The scabs outside still laughed at their spree[00:03:35]

And the children that died there were seventy-three[00:03:46]

Piano played a slow funeral tune[00:03:54]

And the town was lit up by a cold Christmas moon[00:03:59]

The parents they cried and the miners they moaned[00:04:05]

See what your greed for money has done[00:04:13]
