DON'T ASK WHAT A RIVER IS FOR (Pete Seeger) D A7 D On the Oregon-Idaho border A7 D You can find a big trickling stream A7 D They call her "Old Hell's Canyon" C G But to me she's a heavenly dream D G D Come a rink-a-tink a-tink-tink bubbling on A7 D Don't ask what a river is for G D Come a rink-a-tink I think for a million years A7 D Let's ask for a million more Oh, the farmers down about Lewiston They say, "What a terrible waste That water sure could grow good crops" We say "Don't be in such haste" (Chorus) And the power boys over in Portland Town say "We need electricity" But you damned the Snake ten times already Why don't you let the rest stay free? (Chorus) And the power boys over in Idaho say "Oh, what a terrible waste" We say "Take a trip to the Pentagon If you like to do somethin' 'bout waste" (Chorus) So come along to the Idaho border Be you black or brown or just tanned Take a trip on the old white water And be glad for a beautiful land (Chorus) copyright Pete Seeger @environment @river @political filename[ DNASKWRV LP apr97 |
