What a great job you did on this wonderful Woody song, Tim. I really appreciate the "hidden" lyrics -- let's take 'em out of the closet and sing 'em ! This song should be our national anthem.

This seems a very acute song for the Netherlands right now .... it's recently translated and sung by Jan Rot!

I''ll check out your references for further research. Thanks a lot... from Amsterdam

You can see various versions of the song at two terrific sites.

The first is the Guthrie Archives, maintained by the Guthrie family. Google woodyguthrie "dot" org — YouTube doesn't allow URL's.

The second is a great site by Manfred Helfert with lots of great research on Woody, including several versions of "This Land is Your Land." I especially commend this collection because Manfred integrated about twelve of my video versions into his website. How cool is that?
