Grand Coulee Dam - Lonnie Donegan[00:00:00]

Written by：Trad Guthrie[00:00:00]

Now the world holds seven wonders[00:00:05]

That the travellers always tell[00:00:07]

Some gardens and some towers[00:00:10]

I guess you know them well[00:00:12]

But now the greatest wonder[00:00:14]

Is in Uncle Sam's fair land[00:00:17]

It's the big Columbia River[00:00:19]

And the big Grand Coulee Dam[00:00:21]

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

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

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

For to meet that salty tide[00:00:31]

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

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

In the big Grand Coulee country[00:00:38]

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

In the misty crystal glitter[00:00:42]

Of the wild and windward spray[00:00:44]

Men have fought the pounding waters[00:00:47]

And met a watery grave[00:00:49]

Why she tore their boats to splinters[00:00:51]

But she gave men dreams to dream[00:00:54]

Of the day the Coulee Dam[00:00:56]

Would cross that wild and wasted stream[00:00:58]

Now Uncle Sam took up the challenge[00:01:01]

In the year of thirty three[00:01:03]

For the farmer and the factory[00:01:05]

And all of you and me[00:01:08]

He said Roll along Columbia[00:01:10]

You can roll down to the sea[00:01:12]

But river while you're rambling[00:01:14]

You can do some work for me[00:01:17]

In the misty crystal glitter[00:01:19]

Of the wild and windward spray[00:01:21]

Men have fought the pounding waters[00:01:24]

And met a watery grave[00:01:26]

Why she tore their boats to splinters[00:01:28]

But she gave men dreams to dream[00:01:30]

Of the day the Coulee Dam[00:01:33]

Would cross that wild and wasted stream[00:01:35]

Now from Washington and Oregon[00:01:37]

You can hear the factories hum[00:01:40]

Making chrome and making manganese[00:01:42]

And white aluminum[00:01:44]

Now the roar of the Flying Fortress[00:01:46]

For to fight for Uncle Sam[00:01:49]

On the howling King Columbia[00:01:51]

By the big Grand Coulee Dam[00:01:53]

In the misty crystal glitter[00:01:55]

Of the wild and windward spray[00:01:58]

Men have fought the pounding waters[00:02:00]

And met a watery grave[00:02:02]

Why she tore their boats to splinters[00:02:04]

But she gave men dreams to dream[00:02:06]

Of the day the Coulee Dam[00:02:09]

Would cross that wild and wasted stream[00:02:11]

Now the world holds seven wonders[00:02:13]

That the travellers always tell[00:02:15]

Some gardens and some towers[00:02:18]

Why I guess you know them well[00:02:20]

But now the greatest wonder[00:02:22]

Is in Uncle Sam's fair land[00:02:24]

It's the big Columbia River[00:02:27]

And the big Grand Coulee Dam[00:02:30]
