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
