《Talking Columbia(Live From Town Hall， NYC / 1965)》歌词

[00:00:00] Talking Columbia - Ramblin' Jack Elliott

[00:00:02] Written by：Woody Guthrie

[00:01:00] I was down 'long the river

[00:01:01] Just settin' on a rock

[00:01:02] Lookin' at the boats in bonneville lock

[00:01:04] And the gate swings open and the boat sails in

[00:01:06] Toots her whistle she's gone a gin'

[00:01:11] As we know and up

[00:01:13] We come and down

[00:01:20] Well I fills up my hat brim

[00:01:21] Drunk a sweet taste

[00:01:22] Thought 'bout the river goin' to waste

[00:01:24] Thought 'bout the dust

[00:01:26] Thought 'bout the sand

[00:01:27] Thought 'bout the people

[00:01:28] Thought 'bout the land

[00:01:31] Ever'body runnin' round all over creation

[00:01:34] Just lookin' for some kind of a little place

[00:01:44] Pulled out my pencil scribbled this song

[00:01:46] I figgered all these salmon fishers can't be wrong

[00:01:48] Them salmon fish

[00:01:49] They're mighty shrewd

[00:01:50] They got senators politicians too

[00:01:54] Just like a president

[00:01:56] They run ever' four years

[00:02:11] Yes them folks back east are doin' a lot o' talkin'

[00:02:13] Some of 'em balkin' and some of 'em squawkin'

[00:02:17] But with all their figgerin' and all their books

[00:02:19] Well they just didn't know them raw chinooks

[00:02:23] Salmon that's a good river

[00:02:27] Just watch this river and pretty soon

[00:02:30] Ever'body's goin' to be changin' their tune

[00:02:32] The big grand coulee and bonneville dam

[00:02:34] Run a thousand factories for uncle Sam

[00:02:36] An' ever'body else in the world

[00:02:38] Makin' ever'thing from sewing machines to fertilizer

[00:02:43] Atomic bedrooms

[00:02:46] Plastic

[00:02:48] Everything's gonna be made out of plastic

[00:03:02] Yes uncle Sam needs wool uncle Sam needs wheat

[00:03:04] Uncle Sam needs houses and stuff to eat

[00:03:07] Uncle Sam needs water and power dams

[00:03:10] Uncle Sam needs people and people needs land

[00:03:15] Don't like dictators not much

[00:03:17] Myself

[00:03:17] But I think the whole country ought to be run

[00:03:20] By electricity
