This Land Is Your 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

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

I've roamed and rambled, 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

The sun came shining as I was strolling
The wheatfields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting, a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me

As I was walkin' I saw a sign there
And that sign said Private Property
But on the other side it didn't say nothin!
That side 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
