《Grand Coulee Dam》歌词

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

[00:00:03] Well the world has seven wonders

[00:00:05] The travelers always tell

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

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

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

[00:00:17] It's that King Columbia River

[00:00:19] 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-rumbling down the canyon

[00:00:31] To meet that salty tide

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

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

[00:00:37] And the big Grand Coulee country

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

[00:00:45] In the misty crystal glitter of

[00:00:47] That wild and windward spray

[00:00:49] Men have fought the pounding waters

[00:00:51] And met a watery grave

[00:00:55] 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

[00:01:01] That wild and wasted stream

[00:01:06] Uncle Sam took up the challenge in the year of '33

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

[00:01:15] He said, "Roll along Columbia

[00:01:17] You can ramble to the sea

[00:01:20] But river while you're ramblin'

[00:01:21] You can do some work for me

[00:01:27] Now in Washington and Oregon

[00:01:28] You hear the factories hum

[00:01:31] Making chrome and making manganese

[00:01:33] And light aluminum

[00:01:37] And there roars a mighty furnace now

[00:01:39] To fight for Uncle Sam

[00:01:43] Spawned upon the King Columbia

[00:01:44] By the big Grand Coulee Dam

[00:01:49] In the misty crystal glitter of

[00:01:51] That wild and windward spray

[00:01:53] Men have fought the pounding waters

[00:01:55] And met a watery grave

[00:01:58] She tore their boats to splinters

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

[00:02:02] Of the day the Coulee Dam would cross that wild

[00:02:05] And wasted stream
