Roll On, Columbia, Roll On

[Intro]
(Welcome, everybody
Welcome to Hootenanny with the Highwaymen)

[Chorus]
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
So roll on, Columbia, roll on

(Let's everybody sing)

[Chorus]
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
So roll on, Columbia, roll on

[Verse 1]
Green Douglas fir where the waters cut through
Down her wild mountains and canyons she flew
Canadian Northwest to the ocean so blue
It's roll on, Columbia, roll on

(Everybody singin')

[Chorus]
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
So roll on, Columbia, roll on

[Verse 2]
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
It's roll on, Columbia, roll on

[Chorus]
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
So roll on, Columbia, roll on

[Verse 3]
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
Roll on, Columbia, roll on

(Your turn now)

[Chorus]
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
So roll on, Columbia, roll on

(Last chance)

[Chorus]
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Roll on, Columbia, roll on
Your power is turning our darkness to dawn
So roll on, Columbia, roll on
