The Quincy Steam Hoist

From "Approach Approach Conflict"

They say if you blink

You'll miss

The Quincy Mine

The heart of a ghost town west of Dollar Bay

Whenever I think

Of this

Abandoned shrine

I dream of the fortunes left to haul away

They tell me that Old Reliable's done

That none of her stopes are up to code

And all of her veins are now with the groundwater drenched

But we, as miners of old

Will plunder the deep Pewabic lode

And the Quincy Hoist shall run

The Quincy Steam Hoist shall run again

Remember they laughed

They all

Said, "who are you

To tell us the Quince has blood worth drilling for"

But remember the shaft

They call

The number 2

Is deeper than Hell

And burns with copper ore

They tell me that Old Reliable's done

That none of her stopes are up to code

And all of her veins are now with the groundwater drenched

But we, as miners of old

Will plunder the deep Pewabic lode

And the Quincy Hoist shall run

The Quincy Hoist shall run and run

Reliable's done

And none of her stopes are up to code

And all of her veins are now with the groundwater drenched

But we, as miners of old

Will plunder the sweet Pewabic lode

And the Quincy Hoist shall run

The Quincy Hoist shall run

The Quincy Nordberg Steam Hoist shall run again
