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
