《Talking Columbia》歌词

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

[00:00:10] Well down along the river just asittin' on a rock

[00:00:11] I'm alookin' at the boats in the Bonneville lock

[00:00:14] Gate swings open the boat sails in

[00:00:16] Toot that whistle she's gone again

[00:00:19] Gasoline goin' up wheat comin' down

[00:00:33] Well I filled up my hat brim

[00:00:35] Drunk a little taste

[00:00:36] Thought about a river just agoin' to waste

[00:00:37] Thought about the dust

[00:00:38] An' thought about the sand

[00:00:39] Thought about the people

[00:00:40] An' thought about the land

[00:00:42] Folks runnin' round all over creation

[00:00:44] Lookin' for some kind of little place

[00:00:54] Well I pulled out my pencil

[00:00:55] Scribbled this song

[00:00:56] Figured all them salmon just

[00:00:57] Couldn't be wrong

[00:00:58] Them salmon fish is mighty shrewd

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

[00:01:04] Just about like the president

[00:01:05] They run every four years

[00:01:22] You just watch this river though pretty soon

[00:01:24] Everybody's gonna be changin' their tune

[00:01:26] The big Grand Coulee and the Bonneville dams

[00:01:28] Run a thousand factories for uncle sam

[00:01:31] And everybody else in the world turnin' out

[00:01:34] Everything from fertilizers to sewing machines

[00:01:37] And atomic bedrooms and plastic

[00:01:40] Everything's gonna be plastic

[00:01:59] Uncle sam need houses and stuff to eat

[00:02:01] Uncle sam needs wool and uncle sam needs wheat

[00:02:04] Uncle sam needs water and power dams

[00:02:06] Uncle sam needs people and the people need land

[00:02:09] 'Course I don't like dictators none myself

[00:02:12] But then I think the whole country

[00:02:14] Had ought to be run by electricity
