Woody Guthrie - This Land... unedited
The last part of the old Woody Guthrie favorite "This Land Is Your Land" is usually left off printed versions of the song because some deemed it a bit too ... edgy for schoolkids. To me, the lyrics are quite wonderful, and spot-on for our hard times:
In the shadow of the steeple I saw my people,
By the relief office I seen my people;
As they stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?
Catch all of the lyrics below the video, which features award-winning journalist and commentator Bill Moyers celebrating Woody Guthrie's legacy.

The Mountains of Mourne
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The lyrics to the song "The Mountains of Mourne" were written by Irish musician Percy French. It is normally sung to the traditional Irish folk tune Carrigdonn or Carrigdhoun [1] as it is sometimes spelt. This was the same tune used by Thomas Moore (1779–1852) for his song "Bendemeer's Stream".
The song is representative of French's many works concerning the Irish diaspora. The Mourne Mountains of the title are located in County Down in present-day Northern Ireland.
The song is a whimsical look at the styles, attitudes and fashions of late nineteenth century London as seen from the point of view of an Irish labourer from a village near the Mountains of Mourne. It is written as if the singer is sending a message to his true love back home. The text were inspired viewing from Skerries[disambiguation needed] to the Mourne.[2]
It contrasts the artificial attractions of the city with the more natural beauty of his homeland.
