Well, the world got seven wonders so the trav'lers always tell
Gardens and some towers, I guess you know them well
But now the greatest wonder is in Uncle Sam's fair land

On the King Columbia River, it’s the great Grand Coulee Dam
In the misty crystal glitter of the wild and windward spray
Men have fought the pounding waters and they met a watery grave
You know, she whipped their boats to splinters,
But she gave men dreams to dream
Of the day the Coulee Dam would cross that wild and wasted stream
