Seekers, The - This Land Is Your Land 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
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 make me turn back
This land was made for you and me

    If this is a white man song about Australia then....

  2. A.... H....

    Judith has such a beautiful voice

  3. D.... B....

    Can't hear Judith's voice on this. Did she sing it?

    D.... B....

    I don't think so, she was with them but not featured.

  4. r.... ....

    Wrong! This land is not our land, as it was stolen from the aboriginal owners.

  5. S.... ....

    Thank you SO MUCH for uploading this . One of the absolute BEST musical groups ever . I remember singing along at the top of my voice as a child and being so thrilled when I saw them on the telly. Their voices blended beautifully together and each one was amazing. They sounded even better Live and that's a rarity. I'm hoping to go into seniors' homes to do karaoke sing a longs and I think that the Seekers' music would get everyone joining in . I have to practise much much more before I do however as I don't want to "murder" these beautiful songs.

  6. A.... S....

    Wow. No words.

  7. l.... A....

    Strange video. Grape fight!

  8. x.... ....

    I love the Seekers

  9. k.... ....

    D, this land, the world is ours, if we can afford to travel. My land, India is yours, what is mine is yours and there are a whole lot of beautiful places in India, that will take a lifetime to explore. I'd like to explore some of these beautiful places, with you. Not to mention the English countryside.........

  10. A.... ....

    Wonderful Judith, wonderful The Seekers

  11. S.... E....

    are they in AMERICA or are they in Down Under??? They are not from AMERICA

  12. D.... B....

    But where's Judith? She's obviously in the picture -- but on the recording? Her voice is too distinctive not to miss.

    D.... B....

    Yes, maybe I should change the picture - YouTube generated it automatically.

  13. A.... C....

    MUITO BOM

  14. M.... D....

    This land is the Governments land

    Singing about the US in South Australia

  23. K.... M....

    Thanks to you Rich i shall be in hot water. Household chores will have to wait while I peruse your graciously shared catalogue of The Seekers

    K.... M....

    Me, too! This music is a kind of magic! And, no, it doesn't bother me that they're from Australia!

  24. G.... F....

    Canzone e video super, che bello ascoltare e guardare questa meraviglia! Grazie per la condivisione

  25. s.... L....

    A fan of this amazing group. I never tire of listening to them!

  26. J.... B....

    Very odd pairing here with this video and song.  Very famous American folk song (by Woody Guthrie), sung by an very popular Australian singing group, in a setting that is clearly not in the U.S.A. In any case the Seekers did a great job with Woody Guthrie's song!

    J.... B....

    Thanks - the upload was mainly for this rare stereo version of the song. Rather than just attach a still photo to it, I thought I'd use this footage (there's none available of The Seekers touring the US) ;-)
    Interestingly, I also uploaded another song from this LP at the same time ('Children Go Where I Send You') and this one has had more than 6x the number of views!

  27. T.... Y....

    The sound is superb, beautifully match with the fantastic video clip, well done! thank you very much.

  28. M.... M....

    A lifelong Seekers fan, keep them coming.

  29. K.... D....

    Rich, thanks for posting this real gem! Keith did a good job with this so many years ago. Love these 4 more than anything! (And you for sharing it!)
