lyrics

On the banks of the Great Columbia
Where the deer and the elk go to play
There are shadows and ghosts of a world that’s been lost
Full of beauty and full of decay

And the river had fish in endless supply
The canneries dotted the shore line
Now the only things left are pilings and waves
On the banks of the Great Columbia

The loggers came in and the old trees came down
There were sawmills and churches and schools
Now the old town is empty where hundreds once lived
On the banks of the Great Columbia

And this song has been sung by others before
And they weep for a world that is no more
And all things must pass and so too shall we
As the river rolls on to the sea, merrily merrily

All the ships they are bringing an endless supply
Of everything made cross the sea
And a foghorn is blowing in the middle of the night
On the banks of the Great Columbia

And what will there be in 100 years
What fading gifts will she keep
Cause the lock has been picked and the safe has been robbed
To the bank of the Great Columbia

And this song has been sung by others before
And they weep for a world that is no more
And all things must pass and so too shall we
As the river rolls on to the sea, merrily merrily

To the sea
