Subject: ADD: This Land Is Your Land (1952 Guthrie version)
THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND 1952: last version recorded by Guthrie
This land is your land, this land is my land From the redwood forest to the New York island. From the snow-capped mountains to the Gulf Stream waters This land is made for you and me.
As I go walkin' my ribbon of highway I see all around me my blue blue skyway Everywhere around me the wind keeps a-whistlin' This land is made for you and me.
I'm a-chasin' my shadow out across the roadmap To my wheat fields waving, to my cornfield dancing As I go walkin' this wind keeps talkin' This land is made for you and me.
I can see your mailbox, I can see your doorstep I can feel my wind rock your tip-top treetop All around your house there my sunbeam whispers This land is made for you and me.
