《Talking Columbia(Album Version)》歌词

[00:02:42] I was down 'long the river, just settin' on a rock

[00:02:42] Lookin' at the boats in Bonneville Lock

[00:02:42] And the gate swings open and the boat sails in

[00:02:42] Toots her whistle, she's gone a gin'!

[00:02:42] Well, I fills up my hat brim, drunk a sweet taste

[00:02:42] Thought 'bout the river goin' to waste

[00:02:42] Thought 'bout the dust, thought 'bout the sand

[00:02:42] Thought 'bout the people, thought 'bout the land

[00:02:42] Ever'body runnin' round all over creation

[00:02:42] Just lookin' for some kind of a little place

[00:02:42] Pulled out my pencil, scribbled this song

[00:02:42] I figgered all these salmon fishers can't be wrong

[00:02:42] Them salmon fish, they're mighty shrewd

[00:02:42] They got senators, politicians, too!

[00:02:42] Just like a President, they run ever' four years

[00:02:42] Yes, them folks back east are doin' a lot o' talkin'

[00:02:42] Some of 'em balkin' and some of 'em squawkin'

[00:02:42] But with all their figgerin' and all their books

[00:02:42] Well, they just didn't know them raw Chinooks

[00:02:42] Salmon! That's a good river!

[00:02:42] Just watch this river and pretty soon

[00:02:42] Ever'body's goin' to be changin' their tune

[00:02:42] The big Grand Coulee and Bonneville Dam

[00:02:42] Run a thousand factories for Uncle Sam

[00:02:42] An' ever'body else in the world

[00:02:42] Makin' ever'thing from sewing machines to fertilizer

[00:02:42] Atomic bedrooms!... Plastic!

[00:02:42] Everything's gonna be made out of plastic!

[00:02:42] Yes, Uncle Sam needs wool, Uncle Sam needs wheat

[00:02:42] Uncle Sam needs houses and stuff to eat

[00:02:42] Uncle Sam needs water and power dams

[00:02:42] Uncle Sam needs people and people needs land

[00:02:42] Don't like dictators not much, myself

[00:02:42] But I think the whole country ought to be run

[00:02:42] By electricity!
