about

This, DNL travelogue and sung comment on Woody Guthrie's "Roll On Columbia," was a finalist in the 2000 Tumbleweed Song Writing Contest, which was held on the banks of the Columbia River.

lyrics

Roll back, Columbia. Roll back.
I think there's been a crime.
Roll back, Columbia. Roll back
in the fullness of your time.
In time your children may conspire
to undo what they've done.
Will they conspire to let your waters
as before roll on?
