Roll On Columbia - Cisco Houston

Roll on Columbia roll on

Roll on Columbia roll on

Your power is turning the darkness to dawn

So roll on Columbia roll on

Green Douglas fir where the water cut through

Down her wild mountains and canyons she flew

Canadian Northwest to the ocean so blue

It's roll on Columbia roll on

Other great rivers add power to you

The Yakima Snake and the Klickitat too

Sandy Willamette and the Hood River too

It's roll on Columbia roll on

Roll on Columbia roll on

Roll on Columbia roll on

Your power is turning the darkness to dawn

So roll on Columbia roll on

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

It's 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

Roll on Columbia roll on

Roll on Columbia roll on

Your power is turning the darkness to dawn

So roll on Columbia roll on

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

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

Roll on Columbia roll on

Roll on Columbia roll on

Your power is turning the darkness to dawn

So roll on Columbia roll on

Roll on Columbia roll on

Roll on Columbia roll on

Your power is turning the darkness to dawn

So roll on Columbia roll on
