Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings - This Land Is Your Land Lyrics

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 ya, this land was made for you and me

As I went walking down that ribbon of a highway
I saw above me, oh that endless skyway
Now, I saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me

As I was walkin', now they tried to stop me
They put up a sign that said, oh it said "Private Property"
Well, on the back side, you know it said nothin'
So it must be, that side was made for you and me, yeah

One bright sunny morning, well, on the shadow of these people
Down by the welfare office, I, I saw my people
You know now they stood hungry, I-I, I stood wonderin'
I was wonderin', if this land was made for you and me

This land is your land, this land is my land
From Riverside, California, oh, to Staten Island
Well, oh, down to Augusta, Georgia, oh, don't forget to say Philadelphia
Oh, we move on down to Mississippi, oh, Houston, Texas
Oh, L.A., yeah, you know this land is your land
Ah ah, this land is my land
Whoa, this land is your land
Oh, got to believe
Oh, it's my land
Oh, hmm
Ohh, this land was made for you and me, yeah eh
Ohh, this land was made for you and me
Oh, this land, this land is your land
Ah, this land, this land is my land
Yeah, this land your land
