This Land Is Your Land Woody Guthrie 1940 | (Riverboat 260) Mike Seastrom, Nelda Eaton |
OPENER - MIDDLE BREAK - CLOSER Basic - SSD Week 4
Sides face, grand square
*I roamed and rambled and followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts
And all around me, a voice was singing,
This land was made...
Allemande left and weave
**This land is your land, this land is my land
Swing that girl and promenade her
From the redwood forest to the Gulfstream waters
This land was made for you and me
ALTERNATE LYRICS
*As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me those golden valleys
This land was made...
*As the sun was shining and I was strolling
And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
As the fog was lifting, a voice was saying
This land was made...
**This land is your land, this land is my land
From California to the New York Island
From the redwood forest to the Gulfstream water
This land was made for you and me
FIGURE Mainstream, corner progression
Heads promenade and travel halfway round and then
Down the middle, pass the ocean, extend
Swing thru 2 by 2, boys run right
Tag that line all the way thru, cloverleaf tonight
(Girls to the middle) square thru, it's 3 hands round you go
To that corner star thru and promenade on home
From the redwood forest to the Gulfstream water
This land was made for you and me
TAG
This land was made for you and me
