This Land Is Your Land

**THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND**
**TUNE**
Chorus: This land in your land, this land is my land, From California, to the New York Island, From the redwood forests 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.	I followed your low hills and I followed your cliff rims, Your marble canyons and sunny bright waters, This voice came calling, as the fog was lifting, This land was made for you and me. As the sun was shining and I was strolling, Through the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling, I could feel inside me and see all 'round me This land was made for you and me.Woody Guthrie

This was my oldest grandson's favorite song when
he was a Cub Scout. Any time he saw someone playing
a guitar, he would ask them to play "This Land."
Huck is now a tall young man, a Kuru Scout in Japan
but I often still picture him as a Cub Scout singing This Land.
