One thing I enjoy about the Mudcat singaround is being reminded of songs I forgot I once knew. tonight Patty Clink sang "My Land is a Good Land" by Eric Andersen. I couldn't find it in the Cat and my memory of the lyrics is patchy, but I found these lyrics on "Genius" MY LAND IS A GOOD LAND (Eric Andersen) My land is a good land Its grass is made of rainbow blades Its fields and its rivers were blessed by God It's a good land so they say It's a good land so they say My land is a rich land Its hills and its valleys abound Its highways go to many good places Where many good people are found Where many good people are found My land is a sweet land It's a sweet land so I've heard Its song is made up of many men's hands And a throat of a hummingbird And a throat of a hummingbird [Verse 1, Reprise] My land is a good land Its grass is made of rainbow blades Its fields and its rivers were blessed by God It's a good land so they say It's a good land so they say My land is a free land It's a free land so I'm told Freedom is a thing money can't buy And it's worth even more than gold And it's worth even more than gold My land is my homeland My homeland is a strong land too It starts where the sun is born each morn And it ends where the skies are blue And it ends where the skies are blue [Verse 1, Reprise] My land is a good land Its grass is made of rainbow blades Its fields and its rivers were blessed by God It's a good land so they say It's a good land so they say 1967 Eric Andersen recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBGGxqcZ9ag
