Puff the Magic Dragon This Land is Our Land

Blowin' in the Wind

	- Bob Dylan

How many roads must a man walk down
Before you call him a man
How many seas must the white dove sail
Before she sleeps in the sand
Yes, and how many times must the cannonballs fly
Before they are forever banned
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

Yes, and how many years can a mountain exist
Before it is washed to the sea
Yes, and how many years can some people exist
Before they're allowed to be free
Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head
And pretend that he just doesn't see
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind

Yes, and how many times must a man look up
Before he can see the sky
Yes, and how many ears must one man have
Before he can hear people cry
Yes, and how many deaths will it take till he knows
That too many people have died
The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind
The answer is blowing in the wind.


Puff the Magic Dragon

Puff, the Magic Dragon
Lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist
In a land called Honahleah
Little Jackie Piper
Loved that rascal Puff
And brought him strings and sealing-wax
and other fancy stuff.

O, Puff, the Magic Dragon ...(2)

Together they would travel
On a boat with billowed sails
Jackie kept a lookout perched
On Puff's gigantic tail
Noble kings and princes
would bow when'er they came
Pirate ships would lo'er their flags
When Puff roared out his name.

O Puff, the Magic Dragon ... (2)

A dragon lives forever
But not so little boys
Painted wings and giant's rings 
make way for other toys
One grey night it happened
Jackie Piper came no more
and Puff that mighty dragon
He ceased his fearless roar
His head was bent in sorrow
Green scales fell like rain
Puff no longer went to play
Along the Cherry Lane
Without his lifelong friend
Puff could not be brave
So Puff that mighty dragon
sadly slipped into his cave

O, Puff the Magic Dragon...(2)


This land is Our Land

Woody Guthrie's original lyrics to "This Land is Your Land": 
stanzas 4, 5, and 6 are usually censored out, but are essential
to conveying the full meaning of Woody's song. 


                       THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND

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 water
This land was made for you and me

     As I was walkin', that ribbon of highway
     I saw above me, that endless skyway
     I saw below me, that golden valley
     I said this land was made for you and me

I've roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps
To the sparkling sand of her diamond desert
And all around me, a voice was sounding:
This land was made for you and me

     Down in the city, in the shadow of the steeple
     By the relief office, I saw my people
     As they stood there hungry I stood there whistling:
     This land was made for you and me

As I went walking, I saw a sign there
And on that sign it said "Private Property"
But on the other side it didn't say nothin'
That side was made for you and me !

     Nobody living can ever stop me
     As I go walking my freedom highway
     Nobody living can make me turn back, cuz
     This land was made for you and me

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


                                   - Woody Guthrie
