This Land Is Your Land

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
