Talking Columbia - Ramblin' Jack Elliott[00:00:00]

Written by：Woody Guthrie[00:00:02]

I was down 'long the river[00:01:00]

Just settin' on a rock[00:01:01]

Lookin' at the boats in bonneville lock[00:01:02]

And the gate swings open and the boat sails in[00:01:04]

Toots her whistle she's gone a gin'[00:01:06]

As we know and up[00:01:11]

We come and down[00:01:13]

Well I fills up my hat brim[00:01:20]

Drunk a sweet taste[00:01:21]

Thought 'bout the river goin' to waste[00:01:22]

Thought 'bout the dust[00:01:24]

Thought 'bout the sand[00:01:26]

Thought 'bout the people[00:01:27]

Thought 'bout the land[00:01:28]

Ever'body runnin' round all over creation[00:01:31]

Just lookin' for some kind of a little place[00:01:34]

Pulled out my pencil scribbled this song[00:01:44]

I figgered all these salmon fishers can't be wrong[00:01:46]

Them salmon fish[00:01:48]

They're mighty shrewd[00:01:49]

They got senators politicians too[00:01:50]

Just like a president[00:01:54]

They run ever' four years[00:01:56]

Yes them folks back east are doin' a lot o' talkin'[00:02:11]

Some of 'em balkin' and some of 'em squawkin'[00:02:13]

But with all their figgerin' and all their books[00:02:17]

Well they just didn't know them raw chinooks[00:02:19]

Salmon that's a good river[00:02:23]

Just watch this river and pretty soon[00:02:27]

Ever'body's goin' to be changin' their tune[00:02:30]

The big grand coulee and bonneville dam[00:02:32]

Run a thousand factories for uncle Sam[00:02:34]

An' ever'body else in the world[00:02:36]

Makin' ever'thing from sewing machines to fertilizer[00:02:38]

Atomic bedrooms[00:02:43]

Plastic[00:02:46]

Everything's gonna be made out of plastic[00:02:48]

Yes uncle Sam needs wool uncle Sam needs wheat[00:03:02]

Uncle Sam needs houses and stuff to eat[00:03:04]

Uncle Sam needs water and power dams[00:03:07]

Uncle Sam needs people and people needs land[00:03:10]

Don't like dictators not much[00:03:15]

Myself[00:03:17]

But I think the whole country ought to be run[00:03:17]

By electricity[00:03:20]
