This Land Is Your Land Lyrics - Arlo Guthrie

words and music by Woody Guthrie 

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)
