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

Well the world has seven wonders that the trav'lers always tell [00:00:04]

Some gardens and some towers [00:00:08]

I guess you know them well [00:00:10]

But now the greatest wonder is in Uncle Sam's fair lang [00:00:13]

It's the big Columbia River and the big Grand Coulee Dam [00:00:17]

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

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

Comes a-roaring down the canyon to meet the salty tide [00:00:28]

Of the wide Pacific Ocean where the sun sets in the West[00:00:34]

And the big Grand Coulee country in the land I love the best [00:00:38]

In the misty crystal glitter of that wild and wind ward spray [00:00:45]

Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave [00:00:49]

Well she tore their boats to splinters[00:00:55]

But she gave men dreams to dream[00:00:57]

Of the day the Coulee Dam would cross that wild and wasted stream [00:00:59]

Uncle Sam took up the challenge in the year of 'thrity-three [00:01:06]

For the farmer and the factory and all of you and me [00:01:10]

He said "Roll along Columbia you can ramble to the sea [00:01:15]

But river while you're rambling you can do some work for me "[00:01:19]

Now in Washington and Oregon you can hear the factories hum [00:01:26]

Making chrome and making manganese and light aluminum [00:01:30]

And there roars the flying fortress now to fight for Uncle Sam [00:01:36]

Spawned upon the King Columbia by the big Grand Coulee Dam [00:01:42]

She heads up the Canadian Rockies where the rippling watersglide[00:01:48]

I fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave [00:01:52]

When she tore their boats to dplinters and she gave men dreams todream[00:01:57]

On the day the Coulee dam was crossed by the wild and wastedstream[00:02:01]
