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

Written by：Trad Guthrie[00:00:02]

Well the world has seven wonders that the trav'lers always tell[00:00:02]

Some gardens and some towers I guess you know them well[00:00:07]

But now the greatest wonder is in uncle sam's fair lang[00:00:12]

It's the big columbia river and the big grand coulee dam[00:00:16]

She heads up the canadian rockies where the rippling waters glide[00:00:23]

Comes a roaring down the canyon to meet the salty tide[00:00:27]

Of the wide pacific ocean where the sun sets in the west[00:00:33]

And the big grand coulee country[00:00:37]

In the land I love the best[00:00:39]

In the misty crystal[00:00:44]

Glitter of that wild and wind ward spray[00:00:45]

Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave[00:00:48]

Well she tore their boats to splinters but she gave men[00:00:54]

Dreams to dream[00:00:57]

Of the day the coulee dam would 'cross[00:00:58]

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

Uncle sam took up the challenge in the year of 'thrity three[00:01:05]

For the farmer and the factory and all of you and me[00:01:09]

He said roll along columbia you can ramble to the sea[00:01:14]

But river while you're rambling you can do some work for me[00:01:18]

Now in Washington and oregon you can hear the factories hum[00:01:25]

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

And there roars the flying fortress now to fight for uncle sam[00:01:35]

Spawned upon the king columbia by the big grand coulee dam[00:01:41]

In the misty crystal[00:01:48]

Glitter of that wild and wind ward spray[00:01:49]

Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave[00:01:51]

Well she tore their boats to splinters[00:01:56]

But she gave m[00:01:58]

Dreams to dream[00:01:59]

Of the day the coulee dam would 'cross[00:02:00]

That wild and wasted stream[00:02:02]
