This Land Is Your Land ====================== w&m: Woodie Guthrie, 1956 [Verse 1] 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. [Refrain] 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. [Verse 2] I've roamed and rambled, and I've 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. [Refrain] [Verse 3] The sun comes shining as I was strolling, The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, The fog was lifting a voice come chanting: This land was made for you and me. [Refrain] [Verse 4] As I was walkin', I saw a sign there, And that sign said, "No Tresspassin'", But on the other side it didn't say nothin'; Now that side was made for you and me! [Refrain] [Verse 5] In the squares of the city, in the shadow of the steeple, Near the relief office, I see my people; And some are grumblin', and some are wonderin' If this land's still made for you and me. [Refrain] [Verse 6] Nobody living can ever stop me As I go walking that freedom highway; Nobody living can make me turn back; This land was made for you and me. [Refrain]
