From the recording The River Knows
Bob has taken these great lyrics of Woody Guthrie & brought them into a minor mode reggae sound.
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 this ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me
I roamed and rambled, 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
The sun was shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice was chanting
This land was made for you and me
This land is Cherokee land, this land’s Lakota land
This land is Shawnee land, this land’s Arapaho land
This land is Iroquois land, this land is Umpqua land
This land was made for you and me
