THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
(by Woody Guthrie)
This land is your land,
this land is my land
From California
to the New York island,
From the redwood forest
to the Gulf Stream waters;
This land was made for you and me.
As I was walking
that ribbon of highway
I saw above me
that endless skyway;
I saw below me
that golden valley;
This land was made for you and me.
This land is your land ...
I've roamed and rambled
and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of
her diamond deserts;
And all around me
a voice was sounding;
This land was made for you and me.
This land is your land ...
When the sun came shining,
and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving
and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting
a voice was chanting:
This land was made for you and me.
This land is your land ...
As I went walking
I saw a sign there,
And on the sign
it said "No Trespassing."
But on the other side
it didn't say nothing.
That side was made for you and me.
This land is your land ...
In the shadow of the steeple
I saw my people,
By the relief office
I seen my people;
As they stood there hungry,
I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?
This land is your land ...
Nobody living
can ever stop me,
As I go walking
that freedom highway;
Nobody living
can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.
This land is your land ...
