American Folk, Country Music
Woody Guthrie- This Land Is Your Land | Woodrow Wilson "Woody" Guthrie (July 14, 1912 – October 3, 1967) is best known as an American singer-songwriter and folk musician, whose musical legacy includes hundreds of political, traditional and children's songs, ballads and improvised works. He frequently performed with the slogan This Machine Kills Fascists displayed on his guitar. His best-known song is "This Land Is Your Land", which is regularly sung in American schools. Many of his recorded songs are archived in the Library of Congress.[1] Guthrie traveled with migrant workers from Oklahoma to California and learned traditional folk and blues songs. Many of his songs are about his experiences in the Dust Bowl era during the Great Depression, earning him the nickname the "Dust Bowl Troubadour".[2] Throughout his life Guthrie was associated with United States communist groups, though he was never an actual member of any. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woody_Guthrie |
THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND
words and music by Woody Guthrie
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
As I was walking a ribbon of highway
I saw above me an endless skyway
I saw below me a golden valley
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
I've roamed and rambled and I've 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
Chorus
The sun comes shining as I was strolling
The wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling
The fog was lifting a voice come chanting
This land was made for you and me
Chorus
As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!
Chorus
In the squares of the city - In the shadow of the steeple
Near the relief office - I see my people
And some are grumblin' and some are wonderin'
If this land's still made for you and me.
Chorus (2x)

Almost heaven, West Virginia, Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River. Life is old there, older than the trees, Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze. Country Roads, take me home, To the place I belong: West Virginia, mountain momma, Take me home, country roads. All my mem'ries, gather 'round her, Miner's lady, stranger to blue water. Dark and dusty, painted on the sky, Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye. Country Roads, take me home, To the place I belong: West Virginia, mountain momma, Take me home, country roads. I hear her voice, in the mornin' hours she calls me, The radio reminds me of my home far away. And drivin' down the road, I get a feelin' that I should have been home yesterday, Yesterday. Country Roads, take me home, To the place I belong: West Virginia, mountain momma, Take me home, country roads. Take me home, country roads. Take me home, down country roads. |

A leading pioneer of the honky tonk style, he had numerous hit records, and his charismatic performances and succinct compositions increased his fame. His songbook is a backbone of country music, and several of his songs are pop standards as well. He has been covered in a range of pop, gospel, blues and rock styles. His death at the age of 29 helped fuel his legend. His son Hank, Jr., daughter Jett, and grandchildren Hank Williams III, Holly Williams, and Hilary Williams are also professional singers.

Johnny Cash (February 26, 1932–September 12, 2003), born J. R. Cash, was an American singer-songwriter and one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century.[2] Primarily a country music artist, his songs and sound spanned many other genres including rockabilly and rock and roll (especially early in his career), as well as blues, folk, and gospel. Cash was known for his deep, distinctive bass-baritone voice, the "chicka-boom" freight train sound of his Tennessee Three backing band, his demeanor, and his dark clothing, which earned him the nickname "The Man in Black". He traditionally started his concerts with the introduction "Hello, I'm Johnny Cash". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Cash | |
I keep a close watch on this heart of mine I keep my eyes wide open all the time. I keep the ends out for the tie that binds Because you're mine, I walk the line I find it very, very easy to be true I find myself alone when each day is through Yes, I'll admit I'm a fool for you Because you're mine, I walk the line As sure as night is dark and day is light I keep you on my mind both day and night And happiness I've known proves that it's right Because you're mine, I walk the line You've got a way to keep me on your side You give me cause for love that I can't hide For you I know I'd even try to turn the tide Because you're mine, I walk the line |

Joan Baez - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
Joan Chandos Baez (born January 9, 1941, in Staten Island, New York) is a folk singer and songwriter known for her highly individual vocal style.[1] Many of her songs are topical songs and deal with social issues. She is perhaps best known for her hit "Diamonds & Rust" and her covers of Phil Ochs's "There but for Fortune" and The Band's "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" (a top-five single on the United States charts in 1971), and to a lesser extent, "Farewell, Angelina" and "Love Is Just a Four-Letter Word" — along with "Joe Hill", "Sweet Sir Galahad" and "We Shall Overcome" (three of the songs she performed at the 1969 Woodstock Festival). She remains known for her long relationship with Bob Dylan and her lifelong passion for activism, notably in the areas of nonviolence, civil and human rights and, more recently, the environment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joan_Baez | |
JOAN BAEZ lyrics - The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down Send "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" Ringtone to your Cell (J. Robbie Robertson) Virgil Caine is my name And I drove on the Danville train 'Til so much cavalry came And tore up the tracks again In the winter of sixty-five We were hungry, just barely alive I took the train to Richmond that fell It's a time I remember Oh, so well The night they drove Old Dixie down And all the bells were ringin' The night they drove Old Dixie down And all the people were singin' They went Laaaaaa, la-la-la-laaaaaa La-la, la-la La-la-la-laaaaaa Back with my wife in Tenessee And one day she said to me Virgil, quick come see There goes the Robert E Lee Now, I don't mind I'm choppin' wood And I don't care if my money's no good Just take what you need and leave the rest But they should never have taken the very best The night they drove Old Dixie down And all the bells were ringin' The night they drove Old Dixie down And all the people were singin' They went Laaaaaa, la-la-la-laaaaaa La-la, la-la La-la-la-laaaaaa Like my father before me I'm a working man And like my brother before me I took a rebel stand Well, he was just 18, proud and brave But a yankee laid him in his grave I swear by the blood below my feet You can't raise the Caine back up When it's in defeat The night they drove Old Dixie down And all the bells were ringin' The night they drove Old Dixie down And all the people were singin' They went Laaaaaa, la-la-la-laaaaaa La-la, la-la La-la-la-laaaaaa |
