《Grand Coulee Dam》歌词

[00:00:00] Grand Coulee Dam - Woody Guthrie

[00:00:04] Well the world has seven wonders that the trav'lers always tell

[00:00:08] Some gardens and some towers

[00:00:10] I guess you know them well

[00:00:13] But now the greatest wonder is in Uncle Sam's fair lang

[00:00:17] It's the big Columbia River 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 to meet the salty tide

[00:00:34] Of the wide Pacific Ocean where the sun sets in the West

[00:00:38] And the big Grand Coulee country in the land I love the best

[00:00:45] In the misty crystal glitter of that wild and wind ward spray

[00:00:49] Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave

[00:00:55] Well she tore their boats to splinters

[00:00:57] But she gave men dreams to dream

[00:00:59] Of the day the Coulee Dam would cross that wild and wasted stream

[00:01:06] Uncle Sam took up the challenge in the year of 'thrity-three

[00:01:10] For the farmer and the factory and all of you and me

[00:01:15] He said "Roll along Columbia you can ramble to the sea

[00:01:19] But river while you're rambling you can do some work for me "

[00:01:26] Now in Washington and Oregon you can hear the factories hum

[00:01:30] Making chrome and making manganese and light aluminum

[00:01:36] And there roars the flying fortress now to fight for Uncle Sam

[00:01:42] Spawned upon the King Columbia by the big Grand Coulee Dam

[00:01:48] She heads up the Canadian Rockies where the rippling watersglide

[00:01:52] I fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave

[00:01:57] When she tore their boats to dplinters and she gave men dreams todream

[00:02:01] On the day the Coulee dam was crossed by the wild and wastedstream
