《Grand Coulee Dam(Album Version)》歌词

[00:02:22] Well the world has seven wonders, the travelers always tell:

[00:02:22] Some gardens and some towers, I guess you know them well.

[00:02:22] But the greatest wonder is in Uncle Sam's fair land.

[00:02:22] It's that King Columbia River and the Great Grand Coulee Dam.

[00:02:22] She heads up the Canadian Rockies where the rippling waters glide,

[00:02:22] Comes a-rumbling down the canyon to meet that salty tide

[00:02:22] Of the wide Pacific Ocean where the sun sets in the west,

[00:02:22] And the big Grand Coulee country in the land I love the best.

[00:02:22] Uncle Sam took up the challenge in the year of '33

[00:02:22] For the farmer and the factory and all of you and me.

[00:02:22] He said, "Roll along Columbia. You can ramble to the sea,

[00:02:22] But river while you're ramblin' you can do some work for me."

[00:02:22] In the misty crystal glitter of that wild and windward spray,

[00:02:22] Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave.

[00:02:22] She tore their boats to splinters but she gave men dreams to dream

[00:02:22] Of the day the Coulee Dam would cross that wild and wasted stream.

[00:02:22] Now in Washington and Oregon you hear the factories hum,

[00:02:22] Making chrome and making manganese and light aluminum.

[00:02:22] And there roars a mighty furnace now to fight for Uncle Sam,

[00:02:22] Spawned upon the King Columbia by the Great Grand Coulee Dam.
