Well the world has seven wonders, the travelers always tell:[00:02:22]

Some gardens and some towers, I guess you know them well.[00:02:22]

But the greatest wonder is in Uncle Sam's fair land.[00:02:22]

It's that King Columbia River and the Great Grand Coulee Dam.[00:02:22]

She heads up the Canadian Rockies where the rippling waters glide,[00:02:22]

Comes a-rumbling down the canyon to meet that salty tide[00:02:22]

Of the wide Pacific Ocean where the sun sets in the west,[00:02:22]

And the big Grand Coulee country in the land I love the best.[00:02:22]

Uncle Sam took up the challenge in the year of '33[00:02:22]

For the farmer and the factory and all of you and me.[00:02:22]

He said, "Roll along Columbia. You can ramble to the sea,[00:02:22]

But river while you're ramblin' you can do some work for me."[00:02:22]

In the misty crystal glitter of that wild and windward spray,[00:02:22]

Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave.[00:02:22]

She tore their boats to splinters but she gave men dreams to dream[00:02:22]

Of the day the Coulee Dam would cross that wild and wasted stream.[00:02:22]

Now in Washington and Oregon you hear the factories hum,[00:02:22]

Making chrome and making manganese and light aluminum.[00:02:22]

And there roars a mighty furnace now to fight for Uncle Sam,[00:02:22]

Spawned upon the King Columbia by the Great Grand Coulee Dam.[00:02:22]
