Текст песни Skagit Valley Forever

There's a fine green valley not far from Vancouver, Home of the black bear, the marten and the cougar. It's the tree rich valley where the Skagit River flows, A home for God's creatures since Heaven only knows. Chorus: Skagit Valley, Skagit Valley, Ray Williston is selling you away. Skagit Valley, Skagit Valley, They would turn you to a mud pond To run the Coca Cola coolers in Seattle, U.S.A. Well, the parks are getting fewer, the trees are getting thin, The cities are all reaching out to take the wildwood in. The world is getting poorer with every mile they clear, And they're selling Skagit acres for five dollars fifty cents a year. (Chorus) Oh my sisters and my brothers in this shining northern land, It's time to get together and take each other's hand, And ring around the wilderness to keep the gangs away Who would ravage our sweet country for a shameful pocketful of pay. Skagit Valley, Skagit Valley, No grabber will get you for a prize. Skagit Valley, Skagit Valley, We'll let no vandal drown you, We'll keep you as we found you, British Columbia's forest paradise.
