This land is your land this land is my land From California to the New York island; From the red wood 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 was made for you and me. There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me; Sign was painted, it said private property; But on the back side it didn't say nothing; This land was made for you and me When the sun came shining, and I was strolling, And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, A voice was chanting and the fog was lifting: This land was made for you and me. This land is your land This land is my land From California to the New York island; From the red wood forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me.
