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

[00:00:05] Now the world holds seven wonders

[00:00:07] That the travellers always tell

[00:00:10] Some gardens and some towers

[00:00:12] I guess you know them well

[00:00:14] But now the greatest wonder

[00:00:17] Is in Uncle Sam's fair land

[00:00:19] It's the big Columbia River

[00:00:21] And the big Grand Coulee Dam

[00:00:24] She heads up the Canadian Rockies

[00:00:26] Where the rippling waters glide

[00:00:28] Comes a-roaring down the canyon

[00:00:31] For to meet that salty tide

[00:00:33] Of the big Pacific Ocean

[00:00:35] Where the sun sinks in the west

[00:00:38] In the big Grand Coulee country

[00:00:40] In the land I love the best

[00:00:42] In the misty crystal glitter

[00:00:44] Of the wild and windward spray

[00:00:47] Men have fought the pounding waters

[00:00:49] And met a watery grave

[00:00:51] Why she tore their boats to splinters

[00:00:54] But she gave men dreams to dream

[00:00:56] Of the day the Coulee Dam

[00:00:58] Would cross that wild and wasted stream

[00:01:01] Now Uncle Sam took up the challenge

[00:01:03] In the year of thirty three

[00:01:05] For the farmer and the factory

[00:01:08] And all of you and me

[00:01:10] He said Roll along Columbia

[00:01:12] You can roll down to the sea

[00:01:14] But river while you're rambling

[00:01:17] You can do some work for me

[00:01:19] In the misty crystal glitter

[00:01:21] Of the wild and windward spray

[00:01:24] Men have fought the pounding waters

[00:01:26] And met a watery grave

[00:01:28] Why she tore their boats to splinters

[00:01:30] But she gave men dreams to dream

[00:01:33] Of the day the Coulee Dam

[00:01:35] Would cross that wild and wasted stream

[00:01:37] Now from Washington and Oregon

[00:01:40] You can hear the factories hum

[00:01:42] Making chrome and making manganese

[00:01:44] And white aluminum

[00:01:46] Now the roar of the Flying Fortress

[00:01:49] For to fight for Uncle Sam

[00:01:51] On the howling King Columbia

[00:01:53] By the big Grand Coulee Dam

[00:01:55] In the misty crystal glitter

[00:01:58] Of the wild and windward spray

[00:02:00] Men have fought the pounding waters

[00:02:02] And met a watery grave

[00:02:04] Why she tore their boats to splinters

[00:02:06] But she gave men dreams to dream

[00:02:09] Of the day the Coulee Dam

[00:02:11] Would cross that wild and wasted stream

[00:02:13] Now the world holds seven wonders

[00:02:15] That the travellers always tell

[00:02:18] Some gardens and some towers

[00:02:20] Why I guess you know them well

[00:02:22] But now the greatest wonder

[00:02:24] Is in Uncle Sam's fair land

[00:02:27] It's the big Columbia River

[00:02:30] And the big Grand Coulee Dam
