Album: Long Journey

The Portland water that's swilling cold
And it swills my body, but not the soul
Oh, they call up to Portland on the public telephone

They said, "It sure is raining here in the state of Oregon."

Up in the canyon, looking down in the river
And the wind come blowing, and it make me shiver.
Oh, they call up to Portland on the public telephone
They said, "It sure is raining here in the state of Oregon."

You'll see them Injuns standing by the water
They say the river, that's the spirit's daughter
Oh, they call up to Portland on the public telephone
They said, "It sure is raining here in the state of Oregon."

I went to the zoo, I saw the puma
I'm going back to Moctezuma
Oh, they call up to Portland on the public telephone
They said, "It sure is raining here in the state of Oregon."

Honey, honey, honey, honey! What you trying to do?
Why don't you signal when you are through
Oh, they call up to Portland on the public telephone
They said, "It sure is raining here in the state of Oregon."
