Grand Coulee Damn - Woody Guthrie
Well the world has seven wonders

The travelers always tell

Some gardens and some towers
I guess you know them well

But the greatest wonder is in Uncle Sam's fair land
It's that King Columbia River
And the big Grand Coulee Dam

She heads up the Canadian Rockies
Where the rippling waters glide
Comes a-rumbling down the canyon
To meet that salty tide

Of the wide Pacific Ocean
Where the sun sets in the west
And the big Grand Coulee country
In the land I love the best

In the misty crystal glitter of
That wild and windward spray
Men have fought the pounding waters
And met a watery grave

She tore their boats to splinters
But she gave men dreams to dream
Of the day the Coulee Dam would cross
That wild and wasted stream

Uncle Sam took up the challenge in the year of '33
For the farmer and the factory and all of you and me
He said "Roll along Columbia
You can ramble to the sea

But river while you're ramblin'
You can do some work for me

Now in Washington and Oregon
You hear the factories hum
Making chrome and making manganese
And light aluminum

And there roars a mighty furnace now
To fight for Uncle Sam

Spawned upon the King Columbia
By the big Grand Coulee Dam

In the misty crystal glitter of
That wild and windward spray
Men have fought the pounding waters
And met a watery grave

She tore their boats to splinters
But she gave men dreams to dream
Of the day the Coulee Dam would cross that wild
And wasted stream
