lyrics

This Land Is Your Land (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 golf street waters
This land was made for you and me

As I went 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 I’ve rambled and I’ve followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her golden 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 came chanting
This land was made for you and me

CHORUS

As I was walking I saw a sign there
And that sign said no trespassing
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 shadows of the steeple,
In the relief office I see my people
And some are grumbling and some are wondering
If this land’s still made for you and me

CHORUS
