Come out come outNo use in hiding

Come now come nowCan you not see?

There's no place hereWhat were you expecting

Not room for bothJust room for me

So you will lay your arms downYes I will call this home

Away awayYou have been banished

Your land is goneAnd given me

And here I will spread my wingsYes I will call this home

What's this you sayYou feel a right to remain

Then stay and I will bury youWhat's that you say

Your father's spirit still lives in this placeI will silence youHere's the hitch

Your horse is leavingDon't miss your boat

It's leaving nowAnd as you go I will spread my wings

Yes I will call this homeI have no time to justify to you

Fool you're blind, move aside for meAll I can say to you my new neighborIs you must move on or I will bury you

Now as I rest my feet by this fireThose hands once warmed here

I have retired themI can breathe my own airI can sleep more soundly

Upon these poor soulsI'll build heaven and call it home

'Cause you're all dead nowI live with my justice

I live with my greedy needI live with no mercy

I live with my frenzied feedingI live with my hatred

I live with my jealousyI live with the notion

That I don't need anyone but meDon't drink the waterDon't drink the water

There's blood in the waterDon't drink the water

And I'll have totem poles, tomahawks, small papooseWhich will go to prove

I'm an Indian tooA Sioux ooh ooh!

A Sioux

[Patter:]With my chief in his teepeeWe'll raise an Indian family

And I'll be busy night and dayLooking like a flour sack

With two papooses on my backAnd three papooses on the way

Like those IndiansI'm an Indian tooA Sioux ooh ooh!A Sioux ooh ooh!

Just like Rising Moon, Falling Pants, Running NoseLike those IndiansI'm an Indian tooA Sioux ooh ooh!A Sioux ooh ooh!

Some Indian summer's dayWithout a careI may run away

With Big Chief Son-of-a-Bear

And I'll wear moccasins, wampum beads, feather hatsWhich will go to prove

I'm an Indian too

A Sioux ooh ooh!A Sioux

[Alternate line:]And I'll have totem poles, tomahawks, pipes of peace

This Land Is Your Land

Woodie Guthrie

This land is your land This land is my landFrom California to the New York island; From the red wood 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.
