THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
[Verse]
As AI was waDlking that ribbon of hiAghway
I saw Eabove me an endless Askyway
I saw Dbelow me a Golden AValley
I said this lEand was made for you and Ame
[Chorus]
AThis land is Dyour land this land is Amy land
From CalifEornia to the New York AIsland
From the Redwood DForests to the Gulf Stream Awaters
I said this lEand was made for you and Ame
I roamed and Drambled and followed my Afootsteps
Through the spaErkling sands of her diamond Adeserts
And all Daround me a voice was Asounding
This Eland was made for you and Ame
[Chorus]
AThis land is Dyour land this land is Amy land
From CalifEornia to the New York AIsland
From the Redwood DForests to the Gulf Stream Awaters
I said this lEand was made for you and Ame
AWhen the sun Dcame shining, and I was Astrolling, 
And the whEeat fields waving and the dust clouds rAolling, 
As the fDog was lifting a voice was cAhanting: 
This lEand was made for you and Ame
[Chorus]
AThis land is Dyour land this land is Amy land
From CalifEornia to the New York AIsland
From the Redwood DForests to the Gulf Stream Awaters
