《Grand Coulee Dam》歌词

[00:02:57] Well the world has seven wonders, the travelers always tell:

[00:02:57] Some gardens and some towers, I guess you know them well.

[00:02:57] But the greatest wonder is in Uncle Sam's fair land.

[00:02:57] It's that King Columbia River and the big Grand Coulee Dam.

[00:02:57] She heads up the Canadian Rockies where the rippling waters glide,

[00:02:57] Comes a-rumbling down the canyon to meet that salty tide

[00:02:57] Of the wide Pacific Ocean where the sun sets in the west,

[00:02:57] And the big Grand Coulee country in the land I love the best.

[00:02:57] In the misty crystal glitter of that wild and windward spray,

[00:02:57] Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave.

[00:02:57] She tore their boats to splinters but she gave men dreams to dream

[00:02:57] Of the day the Coulee Dam would cross that wild and wasted stream.

[00:02:57] Uncle Sam took up the challenge in the year of '33

[00:02:57] For the farmer and the factory and all of you and me.

[00:02:57] He said, 艁藰Roll along Columbia. You can ramble to the sea,

[00:02:57] But river while you're ramblin' you can do some work for me.艁藰

[00:02:57] Now in Washington and Oregon you hear the factories hum,

[00:02:57] Making chrome and making manganese and light aluminum.

[00:02:57] And there roars a mighty furnace now to fight for Uncle Sam,

[00:02:57] Spawned upon the King Columbia by the big Grand Coulee Dam.
