Roll Columbia, Roll |
There’s a great and peaceful river in a land that’s fair to see |
Where the Douglas-fir tree whispers to the snow-capped mountain breeze |
Cliffs of solid granite and the valley’s always green |
This is just as close to heaven as my traveling feet have been |
Roll, Columbia, won’t you roll, roll, roll |
Roll, Columbia, won’t you roll, roll, roll |
Stand upon her timbered mountain, look across her silver strand |
See the crops and orchards springing to the touch of nature’s hand |
And it’s further up the river where your eye will meet the skies |
Where you’ll see the steel and concrete of the big Grand Coulee rise |
There at Priest and Cascade Rapids men have labored day and night |
Matched their strength against the river in its wild and reckless flight |
Boats and rafts were beat to splinters but it left men dreams to dream |
Of that day when they would conquer the wild and wasted stream |
Uncle Sam took the challenge in the year of '33 |
For the farmers and the workers and for all humanity |
Now river, you can ramble where the sun sets in the sea |
But while you’re rambling, river, you can do some work for me |
Now there’s full three million horses charges with Coulee' 'lectric power |
Day and night they’ll run the factory and they never will get tired |
Well, a coal mine gets dug out and an oil well it runs dry |
But Uncle Sam will find his power where the river meets the sky |
