Now the world holds seven wonders that 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

Comes roaring down the canyon to meet that salty tide
From the big Pacific Ocean where the sun sets in the west
It's the big Grand Coulee country, in the land that I love best

In the misty crystal glitter of the wild and windward spray
I fought the pounding waters and met a watery grave
When she tore their boats to splinters and she gave men dreams to dream
On the day the Coulee dam was crossed by the wild and wasted stream

For the farmer and the factory and all of you and me
