Lyrics

This land is your land, this land is my land
From California, well, to the New York Island
From the redwood forest, to the gulf stream waters
I tell you, this land was made for you and me
As I went walking down the ribbon of a highway
I saw above me, oh, that endless skyway
Now I saw below me that golden valley
And I said, "This land was made for you and me"
As I was walking, no dare not to stop me
They put up a sign that said
Oh, it said "private property"
Well, on the back side, you know it said nothing
So it must be that side was made for you and me
One bright sunny morning, well on the shadow of a steeple
Down by the way I fell
I saw my people
You know my day hungry, homeless
I stood wondering
I was wondering if this land was made for you and me
This land is your land, this land is my land
From Riverside, California to the Staten Island
Well, oh down to West of Georgia
Oh, don't forget to say Philadelphia
Oh,down to Mississippi, oh, Houston, Texas oh, L.A.
You know this land is your land, this land is my land
This land is your land
This land was made for you
This land was made for you and me
