This Land Is Your Land

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND

WRITER WOODY GUTHRIE



Chorus: 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 a ribbon of highway I saw above

me an endless skyway I saw below me a golden valley

This land was made for you and me Chorus 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 Chorus

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 Chorus As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there

And that sign said - no tress passin' But on the other

side .... it didn't say nothin!

Now that side was made for you and me!

Chorus 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. Chorus (2x)
