Ramblin’ Jack Elliott – Grand Coulee Dam Lyrics
Artist: Ramblin’ Jack Elliott
Song: Grand Coulee Dam
Oh, the world has seven wonders that the travelers always tell
Some gardens and some towers, I guess you know them well
But now the greatest wonder is in Uncle Sam’s fair land
It’s that king Columbia River and the great Grand Coulee Dam
She heads up the Canadian Rockies where the crystal waters glide
Comes a-tumblin down the canyon to meet the salty tide
Of the wide Pacific Ocean where the sun sеts in the west
And the big Grand Coulee country in thе land I love the best
Uncle Sam took up the challenge in the year of thirty-three
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 rambling, you can do some work for me.”
In the misty crystal glitter of that wild and wind ward spray
Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave
Well, 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
Now in Washington and Oregon you can hear the factories hum
Making chrome and making manganese and light aluminum
And there roars the flying fortress now to fight for Uncle Sam
Spawned upon the King Columbia by the big Grand Coulee Dam
She heads up the Canadian Rockies where the crystal waters glide
Comes a-tumblin down the canyon to meet the 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
