Coppermine
Coppermine, oh coppermine
My great-great grandfolk on my father's side
used to work,in a coppermine - oh yeah
A penny here, a penny there
won't you drop one in my waterwell
The women lived in Maine* my friend
The men they lived underground
Copperwire oh copperwire
clever clever copperwire
Wrapped in black rubber
never knew it was a miner's manner
I loved so well
A penny here, a penny there
won't you drop one in my waterwell
The women lived in Maine my friend
The men they lived underground
* My sincere apologies to the mining communities of Michigan. I thought I heard my daddy say Maine.
