Well the world has seven wonders, the travelers always tell: |
| [00:07.27] |
Some gardens and some towers, |
| [00:09.34] |
I guess you know them well. |
| [00:12.68] |
But the greatest wonder is in |
| [00:14.75] |
Uncle Sam's fair land |
| [00:16.62] |
It's that King Columbia River and the big Grand Coulee Dam. |
| [00:23.66] |
She heads up the |
| [00:24.62] |
Canadian Rockies where the rippling waters glide, |
| [00:27.75] |
Comes a-rumbling down the canyon to meet that salty tide |
| [00:32.96] |
Of the wide |
| [00:33.57] |
Pacific Ocean where the sun sets in the west, |
| [00:36.85] |
And the big |
| [00:37.46] |
Grand Coulee country in the land |
| [00:39.53] |
I love the best. |
| [00:44.09] |
In the misty crystal glitter of that wild and windward spray, |
| [00:47.98] |
Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave. |
| [00:54.41] |
She tore their boats to splinters but she gave men dreams to dream |
| [00:58.20] |
Of the day the |
| [00:59.21] |
Coulee Dam would cross that wild and wasted stream. |
| [01:05.38] |
Uncle Sam took up the challenge in the year of '33 |
| [01:09.38] |
For the farmer and the factory and all of you and me. |
| [01:14.38] |
He said, " |
| [01:14.79] |
Roll along |
| [01:15.69] |
Columbia. |
| [01:16.36] |
You can ramble to the sea, |
| [01:18.12] |
But river while you're ramblin' you can do some work for me." |
| [01:25.26] |
Now in Washington and |
| [01:26.42] |
Oregon you hear the factories hum, |
| [01:29.00] |
Making chrome and making manganese and light aluminum. |
| [01:35.18] |
And there roars a mighty furnace now to fight for |
| [01:38.11] |
Uncle Sam, |
| [01:41.18] |
Spawned upon the |
| [01:42.40] |
King Columbia by the big |
| [01:43.52] |
Grand Coulee Dam. |
| [01:47.81] |
In the misty crystal glitter of that wild and windward spray, |
| [01:51.51] |
Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave. |
| [01:56.41] |
She tore their boats to splinters but she gave men dreams to dream |
| [02:00.26] |
Of the day the |
| [02:01.22] |
Coulee Dam would cross that wild and wasted stream. |
