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)
