[00:00:00] Grand Coulee Dam - Lonnie Donegan

[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

[00:00:11] But now the greatest wonder

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

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

[00:00:18] And the big grand coulee dam

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

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

[00:00:25] Comes a roaring down the canyon

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

[00:00:30] Of the big Pacific Ocean

[00:00:32] Where the sun sinks in the west

[00:00:34] In the big grand coulee country

[00:00:37] In the land I love the best

[00:00:39] In the misty crystal glitter

[00:00:41] Of the wild and windward spray

[00:00:44] Men have fought the pounding waters

[00:00:46] And met a watery grave

[00:00:48] Why she tore their boats to splinters

[00:00:50] But she gave men dreams to dream

[00:00:53] Of the day the coulee dam

[00:00:54] Would 'cross that wild and wasted stream

[00:00:57] Now uncle Sam took up the challenge

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

[00:01:02] For the farmer and the factory

[00:01:04] And all of you and me

[00:01:06] He said roll along Columbia

[00:01:08] You can roll down to the sea

[00:01:11] But river while you're rambling

[00:01:13] You can do some work for me

[00:01:16] In the misty crystal glitter

[00:01:18] Of the wild and windward spray

[00:01:20] Men have fought the pounding waters

[00:01:22] And met a watery grave

[00:01:25] Why she tore their boats to splinters

[00:01:27] But she gave men dreams to dream

[00:01:29] Of the day the coulee dam

[00:01:31] Would 'cross that wild and wasted stream

[00:01:34] Now from Washington and Oregon

[00:01:36] You can hear the factories hum

[00:01:38] Making chrome and making manganese

[00:01:40] And white aluminum

[00:01:42] Now the roar of the flying fortress

[00:01:44] For to fight for uncle Sam

[00:01:47] On the howling king Columbia

[00:01:49] By the big grand coulee dam

[00:01:51] In the misty crystal glitter

[00:01:53] Of the wild and windward spray

[00:01:56] Men have fought the pounding waters

[00:01:58] And met a watery grave

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

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

[00:02:05] Of the day the coulee dam

[00:02:06] Would 'cross that wild and wasted stream

[00:02:09] Now the world holds seven wonders

[00:02:11] That the travellers always tell

[00:02:13] Some gardens and some towers

[00:02:16] Why I guess you know them well

[00:02:18] But now the greatest wonder

[00:02:20] Is in uncle Sam's fair land

[00:02:22] It's the big Columbia river

[00:02:25] And the big grand coulee dam
