I used to live in Richland, Washington;
My daddy worked at the Hanford plant.
My daddy came from Oklahoma,
He made plutonium at the Hanford plant.
He made plutonium in Richland, Washington;
He bought our groceries, he paid our rent,
It was a pretty little town, that Richland, Washington,

This Columbia River, this Coulee Dam…
Who was this man in Richland, Washington,
Who was this man we’ve never seen?”
