Grand Coulee Damn - Woody Guthrie[00:00:01]

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

The travelers always tell[00:00:05]

Some gardens and some towers[00:00:07]

I guess you know them well[00:00:09]

But the greatest wonder is in Uncle Sam's fair land[00:00:12]

It's that King Columbia River[00:00:16]

And the big Grand Coulee Dam[00:00:18]

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[00:00:30]

Of the wide Pacific Ocean[00:00:32]

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[00:00:39]

In the misty crystal glitter of[00:00:44]

That wild and windward spray[00:00:46]

Men have fought the pounding waters[00:00:48]

And met a watery grave[00:00:50]

She tore their boats to splinters[00:00:54]

But she gave men dreams to dream[00:00:56]

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[00:01:09]

He said "Roll along Columbia[00:01:14]

You can ramble to the sea[00:01:16]

But river while you're ramblin'[00:01:19]

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

Now in Washington and Oregon[00:01:26]

You hear the factories hum[00:01:27]

Making chrome and making manganese[00:01:29]

And light aluminum[00:01:32]

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

To fight for Uncle Sam[00:01:37]

Spawned upon the King Columbia[00:01:42]

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

In the misty crystal glitter of[00:01:48]

That wild and windward spray[00:01:50]

Men have fought the pounding waters[00:01:52]

And met a watery grave[00:01:53]

She tore their boats to splinters[00:01:56]

But she gave men dreams to dream[00:01:58]

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

And wasted stream[00:02:03]
