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.
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.
When the sun came shining, and I was strolling,
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling,
As the fog was lifting a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me.
As I went walking I saw a sign there,
And on the sign it said No Trespassing.
But on the other side it didn't say nothing.
That side was made for you and me.
In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,
By the relief office I seen my people
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?
Nobody living can ever stop me,
As I go walking that freedom highway
Nobody living can ever make me turn back
This land was made for you and me.About This Song
This Land Is Your Land is Woody Guthrie's iconic folk anthem from 1940, written as a response to "God Bless America." While not originally bluegrass, it's been adopted into the repertoire and covered by countless artists including Pete Seeger and Bruce Springsteen. Its simple three-chord progression and singalong chorus make it a natural fit for bluegrass jams.
