This Land is Your Land

This land is your land
This land is my land.
A song from the sixties we sang in grammar school.
The teacher played it on guitar.
We even changed the words to sing about the school's boundaries making it more personal.
Years later, I learned that it was a popular folk song.
I was too young in the sixties, I'm a late baby boomer, to appreciate the folk guitar music scene.
We had a folk guitar mass at church which I sang in the choir for a short while.
I just remember a guy with big hair and groovy clothes leading the group.
I didn't know we were singing songs that were played at Woodstock.
