《Grand Coulee Dam》歌词

[00:00:00] Grand Coulee Dam - Arlo Guthrie (阿洛·古利)

[00:00:20] Well the world has seven wonders that the trav'lers always tell

[00:00:24] Some gardens and some towers I guess you know them well

[00:00:30] But now the greatest wonder is in uncle Sam's fair Lang

[00:00:34] It's the big Columbia river and the big grand coulee dam

[00:00:38] She heads up the Canadian Rockies where the rippling waters glide

[00:00:43] Comes a-roaring down the canyon to meet the salty tide

[00:00:47] Of the wide pacific ocean where the sun sets in the west

[00:00:51] And the big grand coulee country in the land I love the best

[00:00:56] In the misty crystal glitter of that wild and wind ward spray

[00:01:00] Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave

[00:01:04] Well she tore their boats to splinters but she gave men dreams to dream

[00:01:08] Of the day the coulee dam would cross that wild and wasted stream

[00:01:30] Uncle Sam took up the challenge in the year of 'thirty-three

[00:01:34] For the farmer and the factory and all of you and me

[00:01:38] He said roll along Columbia you can ramble to the sea

[00:01:42] But river while you're rambling you can do some work for me

[00:01:47] Now in Washington and Oregon you can hear the factories hum

[00:01:51] Making chrome and making manganese and light aluminum

[00:01:55] And there roars the flying fortress now to fight for uncle Sam

[00:01:59] Spawned upon the king Columbia by the big grand coulee dam

[00:02:21] She heads up the Canadian Rockies where the rippling waters glide

[00:02:25] Comes a-roaring down the canyon to meet the salty tide

[00:02:29] Of the wide pacific ocean where the sun sets in the west

[00:02:33] And the big grand coulee country in the land I love the best

[00:02:38] In the misty crystal glitter of that wild and wind ward spray

[00:02:42] Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave

[00:02:47] Well she tore their boats to splinters but she gave men dreams to dream

[00:02:50] Of the day the coulee dam would cross that wild and wasted stream
