Bob Dylan - Grand Coulee Dam lyrics

Well the world owns seven wonders as the travellers 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. That King Columbia river and the great Grand Coulee Dam. She come up the Canadian Rockies where the crystal waters glide, Comes a-roaring down the canyon to meet that salty tide From the great Pacific Ocean to where the sun sets in the west, That big Grand Coulee country in that land I love the best. In the misty glitter of that wild and windward spray, Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave. Once she tore men's boats to splinters but she gave men dreams to dream, That day that Grand Coulee dam went across that wild and restless stream. Oh Uncle Sam took up the notion in the year of thirty three, For the factory and the farmer and for all of you and me. He said: roll it on Columbia, you can roll out to the sea But river, while you're rolling you can do some work for me. Now from Washington and Oregon you can hear them factories a-hum, Making corn and making manganese and light aluminum. Always a flying fortress to blast for Uncle Sam, That King Columbia river and the great Grand Coulee dam. Well the world owns seven wonders as the travellers 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. That King Columbia river and the great Grand Coulee Dam
