《Talking Columbia》歌词

时长： 02:30

Talking Columbia Blues - Woody Guthrie[00:00:00]

Well down along the river just asittin' on a rock[00:00:10]

I'm alookin' at the boats in the Bonneville lock[00:00:11]

Gate swings open the boat sails in[00:00:14]

Toot that whistle she's gone again[00:00:16]

Gasoline goin' up wheat comin' down[00:00:19]

Well I filled up my hat brim[00:00:33]

Drunk a little taste[00:00:35]

Thought about a river just agoin' to waste[00:00:36]

Thought about the dust[00:00:37]

An' thought about the sand[00:00:38]

Thought about the people[00:00:39]

An' thought about the land[00:00:40]

Folks runnin' round all over creation[00:00:42]

Lookin' for some kind of little place[00:00:44]

Well I pulled out my pencil[00:00:54]

Scribbled this song[00:00:55]

Figured all them salmon just[00:00:56]

Couldn't be wrong[00:00:57]

Them salmon fish is mighty shrewd[00:00:58]

They got senators and politicians too[00:01:00]

Just about like the president[00:01:04]

They run every four years[00:01:05]

You just watch this river though pretty soon[00:01:22]

Everybody's gonna be changin' their tune[00:01:24]

The big Grand Coulee and the Bonneville dams[00:01:26]

Run a thousand factories for uncle sam[00:01:28]

And everybody else in the world turnin' out[00:01:31]

Everything from fertilizers to sewing machines[00:01:34]

And atomic bedrooms and plastic[00:01:37]

Everything's gonna be plastic[00:01:40]

Uncle sam need houses and stuff to eat[00:01:59]

Uncle sam needs wool and uncle sam needs wheat[00:02:01]

Uncle sam needs water and power dams[00:02:04]

Uncle sam needs people and the people need land[00:02:06]

'Course I don't like dictators none myself[00:02:09]

But then I think the whole country[00:02:12]

Had ought to be run by electricity[00:02:14]
