Roll on歌词

Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
So roll on,
Columbia, roll on
Green Douglas firs where the waters cut through
Down her wild mountains and canyons she flew
Canadian Northwest to the oceans so blue
Roll on Columbia, roll on
Other great rivers add power to you
Yakima, Snake, and the
Klickitat, too
Sandy Willamette and
Hood River too
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
It's there on your banks that we fought many a fight
Sheridan's boys in the blockhouse that night
They saw us in death but never in flight
So roll on
Columbia, roll on
At Bonneville now there are ships in the locks
The waters have risen and cleared all the rocks
Shiploads of plenty will steam past the docks
So roll on,
Columbia, roll on
And on up the river is
Grand Coulee
Dam The mightiest thing ever built by a man
To run the great factories and water the land
So roll on,
Columbia, roll on
These mighty men labored by day and by night
Matching their strength 'gainst the river's wild flight
Through rapids and falls, they won the hard fight
So roll on,
Columbia, roll on
