This Land Is Your Land

by Woody Guthrie

Refrain

This land is your land.  This land is my land.

From California to the New York island
From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land was made for you and me!

Verse 1

As I was walking that ribbon of highway,
I saw above me that endless skyway.
I saw below me that golden valley.
This land was made for you and me!  (Refrain)

Verse 2

I've roamed and rambled, and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts.
And all around me a voice was sounding.
This land was made for you and me!  (Refrain)

Verse 3

When the sun came shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling.
As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting:
This land was made for you and me!  (Refrain)
