paroles de chanson Roll On Columbia - Pete Seeger

Roll on, Colombia, roll on
Roll on, Colombia, roll on
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
Roll on, Colombia, roll on

Green Douglas firs where the waters cut through
Down her wild mountains and canyons she flew
Canadian Northwest, to the ocean so blue
Roll on, Colombia, roll on

Roll on, Colombia, roll on
Roll on, Colombia, roll on
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
So roll on, Colombia, roll on

Other great rivers lend power to you
Yakima, Snake and the Klickitat, too
Sandy Willamette and Hood River, too
So roll on, Columbia, roll on

Roll on, Colombia, roll on
Roll on, Colombia, roll on
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
So roll on, Colombia, roll on

And on up the river is Grand Coulee Dam
The biggest thing built by the hand of a man
To run the great factories and water the land
So roll on, Columbia, roll on

Roll on, Colombia, roll on
Roll on, Colombia, roll on
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
So roll on, Colombia, 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, Colombia, roll on
Roll on, Colombia, roll on
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
So roll on, Colombia, roll on
