Response to This Land...

[Crystal Dodd <cdodd@GSD.K12.CA.US>]

I want to thank everyone who responded to my query for lyrics to "This Land
is YOUR Land" (thanks to those who pointed out the correct title.)  I've
listed the  lyrics below if anyone is interested...



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 that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me.

I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
and all around me, a voice was sounding: / This land ...

When the sun came shining & I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving & the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting, a voice was chanting / This land ...

As I went waking, I saw a sign there
On the sign it said "No Trespassing"
But on the other side it didn't say nothing
That side was made for you & me!

In the squares of the city, in the shadow of a steeple
By the relief office, I seen my people
As they stood there hungry I stood there asking
Is this land made for you & me?

Nobody living can ever stop ;me
As I go walking that freedom highway
 Nobody living can make me turn back / This land ...
