《Talking Columbia Blues》歌词

[00:00:00] Talking Columbia Blues - Woody Guthrie

[00:00:01] Written by：Woody Guthrie

[00:00:11] Well down along the river just asittin' on a rock

[00:00:13] I'm a lookin' at the boats in the Bonneville lock

[00:00:15] Gate swings open the boat sails in

[00:00:17] Toot that whistle she's gone again

[00:00:20] Gasoline goin' up wheat comin' down

[00:00:35] Well I filled up my hat brim

[00:00:36] Drunk a little taste

[00:00:37] Thought about a river just a goin' to waste

[00:00:39] Thought about the dust

[00:00:39] An' thought about the sand

[00:00:40] Thought about the people

[00:00:41] An' thought about the land

[00:00:44] Folks runnin' round all over creation

[00:00:45] Lookin' for some kind of little place

[00:00:55] Well I pulled out my pencil

[00:00:56] Scribbled this song

[00:00:57] Figured all them salmon just

[00:00:59] Couldn't be wrong

[00:00:59] The salmon fish is mighty shrewd

[00:01:02] They got senators and politicians too

[00:01:05] Just about like the president

[00:01:06] They run every four years

[00:01:24] You just watch this river though pretty soon

[00:01:25] Everybody's gonna be changin' their tune

[00:01:28] The big grand coulee and the Bonneville dams

[00:01:30] Run a thousand factories for Uncle Sam

[00:01:33] And everybody else in the world turnin' out

[00:01:35] Everything from fertilizers to sewing machines

[00:01:38] And atomic bedrooms and plastic

[00:01:42] Everything's gonna be plastic

[00:02:01] Uncle Sam need houses and stuff to eat

[00:02:03] Uncle Sam needs wool and Uncle Sam needs wheat

[00:02:06] Uncle Sam needs water and power dams

[00:02:08] Uncle Sam needs people and the people need land

[00:02:12] 'Course I don't like dictators none myself

[00:02:14] But then I think the whole country

[00:02:16] Had ought to be run by electricity
