| 10 of the Woody Guthrie songs by This Land |
| “ | After we built the Coolee Dam we had to sell the people out there a lot of bonds to get the money to buy the copper wire and high lines and pay a whole big bunch of people at work and I don't know what all. We called them Public Utility Bonds, just about like a War Bond, same thing. (And a lot of politicians told the folks not to buy them but we sold them anyhow). The main idea about this song is, you think about these Eight words all the rest of your life and they'll come a bubbling up your Eighty Jillion all Union. Try it and see. THIS LAND IS MADE FOR YOUR AND ME. | ” |
