As I went walking, the ribbon of highway
Saw above me, that endless skyway
I saw below me, that golden valley
Sing it out now!
This land was made for you and me
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
Well, I roamed and I rambled, followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
While 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 Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
This land was made for you and me
Now some of you are just singing beautiful, but we need a little harmony
All the high tenors, and all the basses, and the contralto sopranos
Everybody gotta get in on this, and I mean everybody
If there's anybody who's not singin', oh we will say who are you
Woody wrote a lot of verses that did not get in the school song books, here's one of them
In the squares of the city, by the shadow of the steeple
By the welfare office, I saw my people
As they stood there hungry, I stood there whistling
This land was made for you and me
Sing it out now!
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
Was a great high wall there, tried to stop me
Was a great big sign there, said private property
But on the other side, it didn't say nothing
This land was made for you and me
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
I think Woody would be glad to know that people are making up new verses to this all over
I've heard verses in Spanish from New Mexico
Now that's a nice idea, there ought to be verses in French and German and Italian and Polish and Yiddish
and Choctaw and Cherokee and Kiowa also
Ever hear this verse?
This land is your land, but it once was my land
Before we sold you Manhattan Island
You pushed our nations to the reservations
This land was stole by you from me
Now, there was a friend of mine, a fine young black singer named Jimmy Collier
singing this in Washington, D.C. back in 1968 in the Poor People's Campaign
We were singing it together
Up comes old Henry Crow Dog from the Sioux Indian delegation
He points his finger right in Jimmy's chest
He says, hey, you're both wrong, it belongs to me
Jimmy stopped in the middle of the song
He says, maybe we shouldn't be singing this song
But Henry Crow Dog had a great sense of humor
He says, no, if we're down here together to get something done, let's all sing it
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
Woodland and grassland and river shoreline
To everything living, bugs and snakes and microbes
Fin, fur and feather, we're all here together
That's ecology
This land was made for you and me
One more time, this land
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
Saw above me, that endless skyway
I saw below me, that golden valley
Sing it out now!
This land was made for you and me
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
Well, I roamed and I rambled, followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
While all around me, a voice was sounding
