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
