Grand Coulee Dam - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

Well the world has seven wonders[00:00:03]

The travelers always tell[00:00:05]

Some gardens and some towers[00:00:08]

I guess you know them well[00:00:10]

But the greatest wonder is in Uncle Sam's fair land[00:00:13]

It's that King Columbia River[00:00:17]

And the big Grand Coulee Dam[00:00:19]

She heads up the Canadian Rockies[00:00:24]

Where the rippling waters glide[00:00:26]

Comes a-rumbling down the canyon[00:00:28]

To meet that salty tide[00:00:31]

Of the wide Pacific Ocean[00:00:33]

Where the sun sets in the west[00:00:35]

And the big Grand Coulee country[00:00:37]

In the land I love the best[00:00:40]

In the misty crystal glitter of[00:00:45]

That wild and windward spray[00:00:47]

Men have fought the pounding waters[00:00:49]

And met a watery grave[00:00:51]

She tore their boats to splinters[00:00:55]

But she gave men dreams to dream[00:00:57]

Of the day the Coulee Dam would cross[00:00:59]

That wild and wasted stream[00:01:01]

Uncle Sam took up the challenge in the year of '33[00:01:06]

For the farmer and the factory and all of you and me[00:01:10]

He said "Roll along Columbia[00:01:15]

You can ramble to the sea[00:01:17]

But river while you're ramblin'[00:01:20]

You can do some work for me[00:01:21]

Now in Washington and Oregon[00:01:27]

You hear the factories hum[00:01:28]

Making chrome and making manganese[00:01:31]

And light aluminum[00:01:33]

And there roars a mighty furnace now[00:01:36]

To fight for Uncle Sam[00:01:39]

Spawned upon the King Columbia[00:01:43]

By the big Grand Coulee Dam[00:01:44]

In the misty crystal glitter of[00:01:49]

That wild and windward spray[00:01:51]

Men have fought the pounding waters[00:01:53]

And met a watery grave[00:01:55]

She tore their boats to splinters[00:01:58]

But she gave men dreams to dream[00:02:00]

Of the day the Coulee Dam would cross that wild[00:02:02]

And wasted stream[00:02:05]
