[Verse 1]
Oh, deep in Timmins, ‘neath the frozen ground,
The Kidd Creek hoist room’s where legends are found,
Three millwrights, two welders, in the depths they toil,
With heavy machines and ropes that coil!
[Chorus]
Sing ho, heave-ho, let the cables fly,
In the Kidd Creek mine where the sparks do light the sky,
With Mark, Mars, and Brennen, and the welders too,
They’ll fix it up, no matter what they do!
[Verse 2]
Now Mark’s an old-timer, but they gave him a call,
“Come help with the ropes, it’s a task for us all!”
He grumbled and muttered, “I thought I was free,”
But the hoist room beckoned, and he came to see.
[Chorus]
Sing ho, heave-ho, let the cables fly,
In the Kidd Creek mine where the sparks do light the sky,
With Mark, Mars, and Brennen, and the welders too,
They’ll fix it up, no matter what they do!
[Verse 3]
Young Brennen’s the lad who has taken Mark’s place,
With oil on his hands and dirt on his face,
“Keep steady, young fella,” old Mars likes to shout,
“Or you’ll have this machine spinning us all about!”
[Chorus]
Sing ho, heave-ho, let the cables fly,
In the Kidd Creek mine where the sparks do light the sky,
With Mark, Mars, and Brennen, and the welders too,
They’ll fix it up, no matter what they do!
[Verse 4]
Now Ivan’s the welder, just started the trade,
His torch throws the sparks as he learns what he’s made,
“Watch out for that beam!” Mark yells with a laugh,
“Or you’ll weld yourself into a permanent staff!”
[Chorus]
Sing ho, heave-ho, let the cables fly,
In the Kidd Creek mine where the sparks do light the sky,
With Mark, Mars, and Brennen, and the welders too,
They’ll fix it up, no matter what they do!
[Verse 5]
And Pavlo, the welder, he’s ready to go,
With dreams in his heart and his bag packed just so,
“Don’t forget us, Pavlo!” the crew gives a cheer,
“Or you’ll miss all the fun and the good Timmins beer!”
[Chorus]
Sing ho, heave-ho, let the cables fly,
In the Kidd Creek mine where the sparks do light the sky,
With Mark, Mars, and Brennen, and the welders too,
They’ll fix it up, no matter what they do!
[Verse 6]
So here’s to the crew in the hoist room so tight,
With millwrights and welders working day and night,
They laugh, they joke, and they get the job done,
In the deepest of mines, they’re second to none!
[Final Chorus]
Sing ho, heave-ho, let the cables fly,
In the Kidd Creek mine where the sparks do light the sky,
With Mark, Mars, and Brennen, and the welders too,
They’ll fix it up, no matter what they do!
