« All quotes from this author
 

From little towns in a far land we came,
To save our honour and a world aflame.
By little towns in a far land we sleep,
And trust the world we won for you to keep.

From California to the New York Island
From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters
This land is made for you and me.

 
Woody Guthrie
