Peter Paul and Mary, This Land Is Your Land

Peter Paul and Mary, This Land Is Your Land

Lyrics:

This land is your land, this land is my land,
From California, to the New York Island,
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land was made for you and me.
I roamed and rambled, and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me a voice was singing
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 Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land was made for you and me.
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
I saw below me those golden valleys
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 Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land was made for you and me.
As the sun was shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving, and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting, a voice was saying
"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 Redwood Forest, to the Gulf Stream Waters,
This land was made for you and me.

I grew up in the 60s & early 70s, listening to Peter Paul & Mary. Today I enjoy their music as much if not more than I did then. They sang of Peace, & Love, something we do not have nearly enough of in this world!

@ caitimacd, Me too. I grew up during the same time period and listened to them and still do and love them as much now as way back then. I am with you !

I am crying now. I had the honor of listening to Peter and joining him in song with many others-young and old, we were one and full of hope. Later I talked to Peter about Nam and how their songs brought us peace. I thanked him for the song he sang against prejudice to any group including gays. We talked about the suicidal gay youth I work with in trying to help them understand their significance. We huged, pictures were taken. It is one of my most cherished possessions. God bless you P,P, and M.

@ sloopy312,

Wow ! That is great that you got to meet Peter Yarrow !

I met Paul Stookey briefly in a small children's bookstore where he was playing children's songs. Got to talk to him a bit and shake his hand.

I love Woody Guthrie. This is perhaps the worst version I have ever seen of this epic song.

@thundermaster41 This is not a Patriotic song, this song is a protest song against Capitalism.

[4422Alison]

anyone no matter who, if you had the NERVE to dislike this song because your all into rock and pop, so am i. But i liked it. Because I have respect. Not to mention taste and BRAINS... :(.

[BonbondeParis]

I think this should be the official anthem of the OWS movement! I'm sharing it with all my friends!

[disposedsoul]
