Country Joe McDonald - Roll On Columbia
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.
