Thanks to Matt Schofield for the lyrics
ChorusThanks to Chris Jones for pointing me to the original Woody Guthrie lyrics:
This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, to the New York island
From the redwood forests, to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
When I was walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
Saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me
[chorus]
I roamed and] rambled, followed my footsteps
Through the sparkling sands of the diamond desert
And all around me a voice was calling
This land was made for you and me
[chorus]
[chorus]
As I went walking that ribbon of highwayRecordings
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I [roamed and] rambled and I followed my foosteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond desert
All around me a voice was sounding
This land was made for you and me
There was quite a big high wall there that tried to stop me
A sign was painted, said Private Property
But on the back side it didn't say nothing
This land was made for you and me
When the sun comes shining then I was strolling
In the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
A voice was chanting and the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me
This land is your land 'n this land is my land
From California, to the New York island
From the redwood forests, to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me
