"This Land is Your Land"

Woody Guthrie

This Land is your land.
This Land is my land.
From California,
to the New York islands,
From the redwood forests,
to the Gulf Stream waters,
This Land was made for you and me.

As I went walking that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me the endless skyway.
I saw below me that golden valley.
This Land was made for you and me.

Chorus: This Land is your land, etc.

I roamed and rambled,
And I followed my footsteps.
To the sparkling sands of the diamond deserts,
And all around me a voice was sounding,
This land was made for you and me.

This Land is your land.
This Land is my land.
From California,
to the New York islands,
From the redwood forests,
to the Gulf Stream waters,
This Land was made for you and me.
