《Talking Columbia(Album Version)》歌词

时长： 02:42

I was down 'long the river, just settin' on a rock[00:02:42]

Lookin' at the boats in Bonneville Lock[00:02:42]

And the gate swings open and the boat sails in[00:02:42]

Toots her whistle, she's gone a gin'![00:02:42]

Well, I fills up my hat brim, drunk a sweet taste[00:02:42]

Thought 'bout the river goin' to waste[00:02:42]

Thought 'bout the dust, thought 'bout the sand[00:02:42]

Thought 'bout the people, thought 'bout the land[00:02:42]

Ever'body runnin' round all over creation[00:02:42]

Just lookin' for some kind of a little place[00:02:42]

Pulled out my pencil, scribbled this song[00:02:42]

I figgered all these salmon fishers can't be wrong[00:02:42]

Them salmon fish, they're mighty shrewd[00:02:42]

They got senators, politicians, too![00:02:42]

Just like a President, they run ever' four years[00:02:42]

Yes, them folks back east are doin' a lot o' talkin'[00:02:42]

Some of 'em balkin' and some of 'em squawkin'[00:02:42]

But with all their figgerin' and all their books[00:02:42]

Well, they just didn't know them raw Chinooks[00:02:42]

Salmon! That's a good river![00:02:42]

Just watch this river and pretty soon[00:02:42]

Ever'body's goin' to be changin' their tune[00:02:42]

The big Grand Coulee and Bonneville Dam[00:02:42]

Run a thousand factories for Uncle Sam[00:02:42]

An' ever'body else in the world[00:02:42]

Makin' ever'thing from sewing machines to fertilizer[00:02:42]

Atomic bedrooms!... Plastic![00:02:42]

Everything's gonna be made out of plastic![00:02:42]

Yes, Uncle Sam needs wool, Uncle Sam needs wheat[00:02:42]

Uncle Sam needs houses and stuff to eat[00:02:42]

Uncle Sam needs water and power dams[00:02:42]

Uncle Sam needs people and people needs land[00:02:42]

Don't like dictators not much, myself[00:02:42]

But I think the whole country ought to be run[00:02:42]

By electricity![00:02:42]
