Lyrics
0:16Up in the highest of heights
0:18O'Hara blinks and fights
0:21This land is yours this land is mine
0:24I see the Captain in red
0:26And Cairo at his head
0:29This land is yours this land is mine
0:49The lightning over the park
0:51The waters-brash and dark
0:53We take a swim we take a swim
0:57I never meant to escape
0:59The carpet and the trade
1:01This land is yours this land is mine
1:05And when I make up my mind
1:07I change it all the time
1:09I take it back I take it back
1:13The numbers over the dam
1:15Jo Davies and the band
1:17I count them out I count them out
1:22There was a car in the bay
1:26By the boat that swept and swayed
1:30Whoever you are in the light
1:34In the water that we made
1:37I'm counting it out
1:39I'm counting it out
1:41I'm working it out inside
1:45I'm counting it out
1:47To the floor
2:05The ferry hatches Moline
2:07Panola Beauty Queen
2:09She takes a bow she takes a bow
2:13In Charles we climb the hill
2:15And Danville window sill
2:17I take it back I take it back
2:21My sister she counts the bars
2:23The Macon County cars
2:25She takes a bow she takes a bow
2:29The Mississippi amends
2:31The Carver and the bends
2:33This land is yours this land is mine
2:37My brother punches my ear
2:40The injured ivory deer
2:42I call my dad I call my dad
2:46We skip inside of the store
2:48The Mason winter door
2:50This land is yours this land is mine
2:54There was a car in the bay
2:58By the boat that swept and swayed
3:02Whoever you are in the light
3:06In the water that we made
3:10I'm holding your hand by the shore
3:14With our collars pulled up tight
3:17I'm counting it out
3:19I'm counting it out
3:21I'm working it out inside
3:25I'm counting it out
3:27I'm counting it out
3:29I'm working it out inside
3:32I'm counting it out
3:54This land is not your land
3:58For the right hand takes what it can
4:05Ransacks with the mad man
4:10For this land is not yours or mine to have
4:18This land was made for the good of itself
Up in the highest of heights O'Hara blinks and fights This land is yours this land is mine I see the Captain in red And Cairo at his head This land is yours this land is mine The lightning over the park The waters-brash and dark We take a swim we take a swim I never meant to escape The carpet and the trade This land is yours this land is mine And when I make up my mind I change it all the time I take it back I take it back The numbers over the dam Jo Davies and the band I count them out I count them out There was a car in the bay By the boat that swept and swayed Whoever you are in the light In the water that we made I'm counting it out I'm counting it out I'm working it out inside I'm counting it out To the floor The ferry hatches Moline Panola Beauty Queen She takes a bow she takes a bow In Charles we climb the hill And Danville window sill I take it back I take it back My sister she counts the bars The Macon County cars She takes a bow she takes a bow The Mississippi amends The Carver and the bends This land is yours this land is mine My brother punches my ear The injured ivory deer I call my dad I call my dad We skip inside of the store The Mason winter door This land is yours this land is mine There was a car in the bay By the boat that swept and swayed Whoever you are in the light In the water that we made I'm holding your hand by the shore With our collars pulled up tight I'm counting it out I'm counting it out I'm working it out inside I'm counting it out I'm counting it out I'm working it out inside I'm counting it out This land is not your land For the right hand takes what it can Ransacks with the mad man For this land is not yours or mine to have This land was made for the good of itself
