Even the old folks never knew why they call it like they do. I was wondering since the age of two, down on Copperline. Copper head, copper beech, copper kettles sitting side by each. Copper coil, cup o’Georgia peach, down on Copperline. Half a mile down to Morgan Creek, leaning heavy on the end of the week. Hercules and a hog-nosed snake, down on Copperline we were down on Copperline. ---

When suppertime came the old cook came on deck sayin’. “Fellas, it’s too rough t’feed ya.” At seven P.M. a main hatchway caved in; he said, “Fellas, it’s bin good t’know ya!” The captain wired in he had water comin’ in and the good ship and crew was in peril. And later that night when 'is lights went outta sight came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Does any one know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours? The searchers all say they’d have made Whitefish Bay if they’d put fifteen more miles behind 'er. They might have split up or they might have capsized; they may have broke deep and took water. And all that remains is the faces and the names of the wives and the sons and the daughters. ---

Mama stood cryin’ at the dockside Sayin’ “Please son, don’t take this trip” I said “Mama, sweet Mama, don’t you worry none” “Even God couldn’t sink this ship” Well, the whistle blew and they turned the screws It turned the water into foam Destination sweet salvation Goodbye home sweet home I’m in the dance band on the Titanic Sing “Nearer, my God, to Thee” The iceberg’s on the starboard bow Won’t you dance with me ---
