Country Joe McDonald - Roll On, Columbia lyrics

Guthrie-Leadbelly-Lomax Green Douglas firs where the water cut through Down her wild mountains and canyons she flew Canadian Northwest to the ocean so blue It's roll on, Columbia, roll on Roll on, Columbia, roll on Roll on, Columbia, roll on Your power is turning our darkness to dawn So roll on, Columbia, roll on Tom Jefferson's vision would not let him rest An empire he saw in the Pacific Northwest Sent Lewis and Clark and they did the rest So roll on, Columbia, roll on Roll on, Columbia, roll on Roll on, Columbia, roll on Your power is turning our darkness to dawn So roll on, Columbia, roll on At Bonneville now there are ships in the locks Waters have risen and cleared all the rocks Shiploads of plenty will steam past the docks It's roll on, Columbia, roll on Roll on, Columbia, roll on Roll on, Columbia, roll on Your power is turning our darkness to dawn So roll on, Columbia, roll on And up on the river is the Grand Coulee Dam The mightiest thing ever built by a man To run the great factories and water the land It's roll on, Columbia, roll on Roll on, Columbia, roll on Roll on, Columbia, roll on Your power is turning our darkness to dawn So roll on, Columbia, roll on
