Lyrics:

  • Chorus:
  • 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

  • As I was 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 rambled and I've 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

  • Chorus

  • The sun comes shining as I was strolling
  • The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
  • The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
  • This land was made for you and me

  • Chorus

  • As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
  • And that sign said - no tress passin'
  • 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 shadow of the steeple
  • Near the relief office - I see my people
  • And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
  • If this land's still made for you and me.

  • Chorus (2x)
