This Land Is Your Land

By Woody Guthrie

Refrain Chorus:

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

1. As I was walking that ribbon highway,

I saw above me an endless skyway

I saw below me a golden valley,

This land was made for you and me

Refrain Chorus

2. I roamed and rambled I followed my footsteps,

To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts

And all around me a voice was singing

This land was made for you and me

Refrain Chorus

3. The sun was shining as I was strolling,

Wheat fields waving, dust clouds rolling

A voice was singing, the fog was lifting

This land was made for you and me

Refrain Chorus

Pentatonic Solfege

Poison Rhythm

Don't Get Poisoned!

1. Dashing through the snow, In a one-horse open sleigh,

Over the fields we go, Laughing all the way; Ha Ha Ha

Bells on bob-tail ring, Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing, A sleighing song tonight, Oh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, Hey,

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Z

2. A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride,
And soon Miss Fanny Bright, Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank;, Misfortune seemed his lot;
He got into a drifted bank, and then we got upsot. Oh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, Hey,

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Z

3. A day or two ago, The story I must tell
I went out on the snow, And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by, In a one-horse open sleigh,
He laughed as there I sprawling lie, But quickly drove away. Oh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, Hey,

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. Z

4. Now the ground is white, Go it while you're young,
Take the girls tonight, And sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed bay, Two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh, And crack! you'll take the lead. Oh
Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh, Hey,

Jingle bells, jingle bells, Jingle all the way!

O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh. HEY!!

Run Run Rudolph

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town,
Santa make him hurry tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph, I’m reeling like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a boy child "What have you been longing for?"
"All I want for Christmas is a Rock n Roll electric guitar"
And then away went Rudolph flying like a shooting star

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town,
Santa make him hurry tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph, I’m reeling like a merry-go-round

Said Santa to a girl child "What would please you most to get?"
"A little baby doll that can cry, sleep, and wet"
And then away went Rudolph, flying like a Saber jet

Run, run Rudolph, Santa's got to make it to town
Santa make him hurry, tell him he can take the freeway down
Run, run Rudolph, I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round

Run, run Rudolph, I'm reelin' like a merry-go-round

Home On The Range

Home on the Range

1.Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam

Where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day

Refrain:

Home, home on the range

Where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day

2. How often at night when the heavens are bright

With the light of the glittering stars

Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed

If their glory exceeds that of ours

Refrain:

Home, home on the range………..

3. Then give me a land where the bright diamond sand

Flows leisurely down to the stream

Where the graceful white swan goes gliding along

Like a maid in a heavenly dream

Refrain:

Home, home on the range…………..

4. Where the air is so pure, and the zephyrs so free

The breezes so balmy and light

That I would not exchange my home on the range

For all of the cities so bright

Refrain:

Home, home on the range

Where the deer and the antelope play

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day
