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

Written by：Woody Guthrie[00:00:01]

Well down along the river just asittin' on a rock[00:00:11]

I'm a lookin' at the boats in the Bonneville lock[00:00:13]

Gate swings open the boat sails in[00:00:15]

Toot that whistle she's gone again[00:00:17]

Gasoline goin' up wheat comin' down[00:00:20]

Well I filled up my hat brim[00:00:35]

Drunk a little taste[00:00:36]

Thought about a river just a goin' to waste[00:00:37]

Thought about the dust[00:00:39]

An' thought about the sand[00:00:39]

Thought about the people[00:00:40]

An' thought about the land[00:00:41]

Folks runnin' round all over creation[00:00:44]

Lookin' for some kind of little place[00:00:45]

Well I pulled out my pencil[00:00:55]

Scribbled this song[00:00:56]

Figured all them salmon just[00:00:57]

Couldn't be wrong[00:00:59]

The salmon fish is mighty shrewd[00:00:59]

They got senators and politicians too[00:01:02]

Just about like the president[00:01:05]

They run every four years[00:01:06]

You just watch this river though pretty soon[00:01:24]

Everybody's gonna be changin' their tune[00:01:25]

The big grand coulee and the Bonneville dams[00:01:28]

Run a thousand factories for Uncle Sam[00:01:30]

And everybody else in the world turnin' out[00:01:33]

Everything from fertilizers to sewing machines[00:01:35]

And atomic bedrooms and plastic[00:01:38]

Everything's gonna be plastic[00:01:42]

Uncle Sam need houses and stuff to eat[00:02:01]

Uncle Sam needs wool and Uncle Sam needs wheat[00:02:03]

Uncle Sam needs water and power dams[00:02:06]

Uncle Sam needs people and the people need land[00:02:08]

'Course I don't like dictators none myself[00:02:12]

But then I think the whole country[00:02:14]

Had ought to be run by electricity[00:02:16]
