This Land is Your Land

• Tune: Woody Guthrie
• Words: Woody Guthrie and Billy Bragg

(cho­rus)
This land is your land, this land is my land
From the coast of Corn­wall to the Scot­tish Highlands
From the sacred forests, to the holy islands
This land was made for you and me

1. As I was walk­ing along the High Street
The traf­fic rag­ing, rag­ing all around me
I closed my eyes and dreamed how it could be
This land was made for you and me.

2. So I am going, no one can stop me
Where the wild flow­ers grow­ing, clean rivers flowing
Fresh winds are blow­ing, and the tall trees whispering
This land was made for you and me.

3. I saw a sign there, when I was walking
And on the sign it said ‘No Trespassing‘
But on the oth­er side, it did say nothing
This sign was made for you and me.

4. As the clouds went rolling, and the church bells ringing
I heard the songs that the birds were singing
As night came falling, they went on calling
This land was made for you and me.

5. From the teem­ing city, I made my escape
To find my place in the mys­tic landscape
I’m not the first here, nor am I the last here
This land was made for you and me.
