Grand Coulee Dam - Lonnie Donegan[00:00:00]

Written by：Trad Guthrie[00:00:00]

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[00:00:11]

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[00:00:18]

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

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

Comes a roaring down the canyon[00:00:25]

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

Of the big Pacific Ocean[00:00:30]

Where the sun sinks in the west[00:00:32]

In the big grand coulee country[00:00:34]

In the land I love the best[00:00:37]

In the misty crystal glitter[00:00:39]

Of the wild and windward spray[00:00:41]

Men have fought the pounding waters[00:00:44]

And met a watery grave[00:00:46]

Why she tore their boats to splinters[00:00:48]

But she gave men dreams to dream[00:00:50]

Of the day the coulee dam[00:00:53]

Would 'cross that wild and wasted stream[00:00:54]

Now uncle Sam took up the challenge[00:00:57]

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

For the farmer and the factory[00:01:02]

And all of you and me[00:01:04]

He said roll along Columbia[00:01:06]

You can roll down to the sea[00:01:08]

But river while you're rambling[00:01:11]

You can do some work for me[00:01:13]

In the misty crystal glitter[00:01:16]

Of the wild and windward spray[00:01:18]

Men have fought the pounding waters[00:01:20]

And met a watery grave[00:01:22]

Why she tore their boats to splinters[00:01:25]

But she gave men dreams to dream[00:01:27]

Of the day the coulee dam[00:01:29]

Would 'cross that wild and wasted stream[00:01:31]

Now from Washington and Oregon[00:01:34]

You can hear the factories hum[00:01:36]

Making chrome and making manganese[00:01:38]

And white aluminum[00:01:40]

Now the roar of the flying fortress[00:01:42]

For to fight for uncle Sam[00:01:44]

On the howling king Columbia[00:01:47]

By the big grand coulee dam[00:01:49]

In the misty crystal glitter[00:01:51]

Of the wild and windward spray[00:01:53]

Men have fought the pounding waters[00:01:56]

And met a watery grave[00:01:58]

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

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

Of the day the coulee dam[00:02:05]

Would 'cross that wild and wasted stream[00:02:06]

Now the world holds seven wonders[00:02:09]

That the travellers always tell[00:02:11]

Some gardens and some towers[00:02:13]

Why I guess you know them well[00:02:16]

But now the greatest wonder[00:02:18]

Is in uncle Sam's fair land[00:02:20]

It's the big Columbia river[00:02:22]

And the big grand coulee dam[00:02:25]
