《The Grand Coulie Dam》歌词

[00:00:02] Now the world holds seven wonders

[00:00:04] That the travellers always tell

[00:00:07] Some gardens and some towers

[00:00:09] I guess you know them well

[00:00:12] But now the greatest wonder

[00:00:14] Is in Uncle Sam's fair land

[00:00:16] It's the big Columbia River

[00:00:19] And the big Grand Coulee Dam

[00:00:21] She heads up the Canadian Rockies

[00:00:23] Where the rippling waters glide

[00:00:26] Comes a-roaring down the canyon

[00:00:28] For to meet that salty tide

[00:00:31] Of the big Pacific Ocean

[00:00:33] Where the sun sinks in the west

[00:00:35] In the big Grand Coulee country

[00:00:38] In the land I love the best

[00:00:40] In the misty crystal glitter

[00:00:42] Of the wild and windward spray

[00:00:45] Men have fought the pounding waters

[00:00:47] And met a watery grave

[00:00:49] Why she tore their boats to splinters

[00:00:51] But she gave men dreams to dream

[00:00:54] Of the day the Coulee Dam

[00:00:56] Would cross that wild and wasted stream

[00:00:59] Now Uncle Sam took up the challenge

[00:01:01] In the year of thirty three

[00:01:03] For the farmer and the factory

[00:01:05] And all of you and me

[00:01:08] He said "Roll along Columbia

[00:01:10] You can roll down to the sea

[00:01:12] But river while you're rambling

[00:01:15] You can do some work for me "

[00:01:17] In the misty crystal glitter

[00:01:19] Of the wild and windward spray

[00:01:22] Men have fought the pounding waters

[00:01:24] And met a watery grave

[00:01:26] Why she tore their boats to splinters

[00:01:29] But she gave men dreams to dream

[00:01:31] Of the day the Coulee Dam

[00:01:33] Would cross that wild and wasted stream

[00:01:35] Now from Washington and Oregon

[00:01:38] You can hear the factories hum

[00:01:40] Making chrome and making manganese

[00:01:42] And white aluminum

[00:01:45] Now the roar of the Flying Fortress

[00:01:47] For to fight for Uncle Sam

[00:01:49] On the howling King Columbia

[00:01:51] By the big Grand Coulee Dam

[00:01:54] In the misty crystal glitter

[00:01:56] Of the wild and windward spray

[00:01:58] Men have fought the pounding waters

[00:02:00] And met a watery grave

[00:02:03] Why she tore their boats to splinters

[00:02:05] But she gave men dreams to dream

[00:02:07] Of the day the Coulee Dam

[00:02:09] Would cross that wild and wasted stream

[00:02:11] Now the world holds seven wonders

[00:02:14] That the travellers always tell

[00:02:16] Some gardens and some towers

[00:02:19] Why I guess you know them well

[00:02:21] But now the greatest wonder

[00:02:23] Is in Uncle Sam's fair land

[00:02:25] It's the big Columbia River

[00:02:27] And the big Grand Coulee Dam
