AMERICA
My country ‘tis of thee, sweet land of Liberty Of thee I sing Land where my fathers died Land of the pilgrims’ pride From ev’ry mountainside Let freedom ring!
YOU’RE A GRAND OLD FLAG
You’re a grand old flag You’re a high-flying flag And forever in peace may you wave You’re the emblem of The Land I love The home of the free and the brave Ev’ry heart beats true Under red white and blue Where there’s never a boast or brag But should auld acquaintance be forgot Keep your eye on the grand old flag!
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 waters
This land was made for you and me
As I went walking that ribbon of highway
I saw above me that endless skyway
And saw below me that golden valley
This land was made for you and me
CHORUS
I roamed and rambled and I 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
When the sun comes shining, then I was strolling
In the wheat fields waving and dust clouds rolling
The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting
This land was made for you and me
CHORUS
THE STAR-SPANGLED BANNER
Oh, say can you see by the dawn’s early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars thru the perilous fight,
O’er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?
And the rocket’s red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
