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

That the travellers always tell[00:00:04]

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

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

But now the greatest wonder[00:00:12]

Is in Uncle Sam's fair land[00:00:14]

It's the big Columbia River[00:00:16]

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

She heads up the Canadian Rockies[00:00:21]

Where the rippling waters glide[00:00:23]

Comes a-roaring down the canyon[00:00:26]

For to meet that salty tide[00:00:28]

Of the big Pacific Ocean[00:00:31]

Where the sun sinks in the west[00:00:33]

In the big Grand Coulee country[00:00:35]

In the land I love the best[00:00:38]

In the misty crystal glitter[00:00:40]

Of the wild and windward spray[00:00:42]

Men have fought the pounding waters[00:00:45]

And met a watery grave[00:00:47]

Why she tore their boats to splinters[00:00:49]

But she gave men dreams to dream[00:00:51]

Of the day the Coulee Dam[00:00:54]

Would cross that wild and wasted stream[00:00:56]

Now Uncle Sam took up the challenge[00:00:59]

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

For the farmer and the factory[00:01:03]

And all of you and me[00:01:05]

He said "Roll along Columbia [00:01:08]

You can roll down to the sea[00:01:10]

But river while you're rambling[00:01:12]

You can do some work for me "[00:01:15]

In the misty crystal glitter[00:01:17]

Of the wild and windward spray[00:01:19]

Men have fought the pounding waters[00:01:22]

And met a watery grave[00:01:24]

Why she tore their boats to splinters[00:01:26]

But she gave men dreams to dream[00:01:29]

Of the day the Coulee Dam[00:01:31]

Would cross that wild and wasted stream[00:01:33]

Now from Washington and Oregon[00:01:35]

You can hear the factories hum[00:01:38]

Making chrome and making manganese[00:01:40]

And white aluminum[00:01:42]

Now the roar of the Flying Fortress[00:01:45]

For to fight for Uncle Sam[00:01:47]

On the howling King Columbia[00:01:49]

By the big Grand Coulee Dam[00:01:51]

In the misty crystal glitter[00:01:54]

Of the wild and windward spray[00:01:56]

Men have fought the pounding waters[00:01:58]

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

Why she tore their boats to splinters[00:02:03]

But she gave men dreams to dream[00:02:05]

Of the day the Coulee Dam[00:02:07]

Would cross that wild and wasted stream[00:02:09]

Now the world holds seven wonders[00:02:11]

That the travellers always tell[00:02:14]

Some gardens and some towers [00:02:16]

Why I guess you know them well[00:02:19]

But now the greatest wonder[00:02:21]

Is in Uncle Sam's fair land[00:02:23]

It's the big Columbia River[00:02:25]

And the big Grand Coulee Dam[00:02:27]
