Now the world has seven wonders as the travelers 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.
It's the big Columbia river and the big Grand Coulee Dam.
She heads up the Canadian Rockies where rippling waters glide,
Comes roaring down the canyon oh to meet that salty tide.
Of the big Pacific Ocean where the sun sets in the west,
In the big Grand Coulee country, in the land I love the best.
In the misty crystal glitter of the wild and windward spray,
Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave.
Why she tore their boats to splinters but she gave men dreams to dream,
Oh the day the Coulee dam crossed that wild and wasted stream.
Now Uncle Sam took up the challenge in the year of thirty three,
For the farmer and the factory and all of you and me.
He said roll along Columbia, you can roll down to the sea,
But river while you're rambling you can do some work for me.
In the misty crystal glitter of the wild and windward spray,
Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave.
Why she tore their boats to splinters but she gave men dreams to dream,
Oh the day the Coulee dam crossed that wild and wasted stream.
Now from Washington and Oregon you can hear the factories hum,
Making chrome and making manganese, and bright aluminum.
Now roars a flying fortress for a fight for Uncle Sam,
Along that golden king Columbia and the big Grand Coulee dam.
In the misty crystal glitter of that wild and windward spray,
Men have fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave.
Why she tore their boats to splinters but she gave men dreams to dream,
Oh the day the Coulee dam crossed that wild and wasted stream.
Now the world has seven wonders as the travelers 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.
It's the big Columbia river and the big Grand Coulee Dam.
Lonnie Donegan (Anthony James Donegan, 1931-2002) was a Scottish singer and guitarist considered the father of skiffle, a popular music genre in the 1950s that influenced the birth of rock and roll. Donegan began his career as a jazz and blues musician, playing in local bands before emerging in 1954 with his single "Rock Island Line". The song became an immediate success, topping the British charts and launching Donegan to international fame. His musical style, characterized by fast rhythms, catchy melodies, and simple lyrics, inspired generations of musicians, including the Beatles, who cited him as one of their main influences. Donegan released numerous successful albums throughout the 1950s and 1960s, collaborating with artists such as Chuck Berry and Bill Haley. Among his most famous songs are "My Old Man's a Dustman", "Does Your Mother Know?" and "Puttin' on the Style". Despite the decline of skiffle in the 1960s, Donegan continued to record music until the end of his career. His musical legacy remains alive, recognizing him as a pioneer of rock and roll and a fundamental artist in the history of popular music.
