TALE OF A DRILLER Video (MV)

Step back in time to the woodlands of Northern Ontario
Mighty men staking their claims in search of her gold
As she quietly beckoned the men into her wilderness
The tale of a driller named William Cochrane is told
A steady hand as the driller keeps on drillin'
As the earth shakes deep below
He taps his pipe as the coal oils a burnin'
Mighty men of long ago
The haunting call of a timber wolf deep in the darkness
A spark from the campfire lands in the new fallen snow
Most of the drill camps around have long been abandoned
But this pioneer driller is seasoned and ready to go
A steady hand as the driller keeps on drillin'
As the earth shakes deep below
He taps his pipe as the coal oils a burnin'
Mighty men of long ago
Hey, Yeah
Hey, Yeah Yeah
Hey, Yeah
Hey, Yeah Yeah
Darkness descended upon them as the engines fell quiet
With no way to start them and a north wind that cut like a knife
So the big driller calmly ambled into the engine room
And with one mighty pull the engines, they sprung into life
A steady hand as the driller keeps on drillin'
As the earth shakes deep below
He taps his pipe as the coal oils a burnin'
Mighty men of long ago
Like a beacon of light, he toiled deep in the darkness
No man knew what made him so driven and bold
Through God's wilderness and woodlands, this mighty man wandered
Following whispering veins of silver and gold
A steady hand as the driller keeps on drillin'
As the earth shakes deep below
He taps his pipe as the coal oils a burnin'
Mighty men of long ago
Mighty men of long ago
