This Land is Your Land

[Intro] There's a book out right now, it's called "Woody Guthrie: A Life" Lt's by this fellow named Joe Klein And uh, it's really, it's really a great book And this is, this song was originally, it was written as an angry song It was an answer to Irving Berlin who just wrote "God Bless America" And, and this song was written as an answer to that song And uh, it's just about one of the most beautiful songs ever written Anyway, let's do this for you here [Verse 1] Well, I rode that ribbon highway I saw above me the endless skyway I saw below me the golden valley Well, this land was made for you and me [Verse 2] I've roamed and rambled, I followed my footsteps Through the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts And all around me a voice was calling It said this land was made for you and me [Chorus] Oh, 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 Oh, this land was made for you and me [Verse 3] Now the sun came shining and I was strolling O'er the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling And a voice was sounding as the fog was lifting Said this land was made for you and me [Chorus] Oh, 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 Oh, this land was made for you and me
