Oregon Night Song

Who-o-om who-o-om who-o-om go freighters of Oregon Bulging the night with reverberant sound Pummeling pistons quivering midnight Red lights green lights great cat eyes Bellow in the deep dark Rumble up the highways Roar through the cities Grind up the Siskiyous Snarl down to Arlington East to Pasco West to Portland North Wenatchee Peaches cherries Hood River apples Cream cans butter cheeses from Tillamook All the stuffs from green river valleys Dairies orchards gardens of Oregon Rolling through the black night Roaring through the deep night Whamming through the thick night Who-o-om go the freighters.
