Portland Water - Billy Hults, Michael Hurley

The Portland water they swillin' cold

And it swills my body but not not my soul

Oh the call up to Portland on the public telephone

Said it sure is rainin' here in the state of Oregon

Up in the canyon lookin' down on the river

And the wind come blowin' and it makes me shiver

Oh the call up to Portland on the public telephone

Said it sure is rainin' here in the state of Oregon

You see them injuns lookin down on the water

They say the river is the spirit’s daughter

Oh the call up to Portland on the public telephone

Said it sure is rainin' here in the state of Oregon

Honey honey honey honey whatcha tryin' to do

Why don’t you signal when you are through

Oh the call up to Portland on the public telephone

Said it sure is rainin' here in the state of Oregon

You can see quite a ways on the great hillside

And the people there livin' where the injuns died

Oh the call up to Portland on the public telephone

Said it sure is rainin' here in the state of Oregon
