Boulder City Dam Lyrics

We heard tales of a river being tamed
The Colorado is her name
So I rode off with my brothers to the West
To make my living like the rest
A city built just for the workers there
Conditions to work were less than fair
Our opinions never had a voice
We'd climb the rocks without a choice
We risked our lives and the water still rolls on
Ride 30 miles at the ending of the day
We'd gamble our money all away
But the morning would cause the night to end
Then we'd gamble on our lives again
One day while working in the river bed

I heard a rumble overhead
Saw the men flying through the air
One was my brother lying there
(repeat first verse)
