I think this version was done by a Patrick McWilliams...not positive though!
Of course Jib Jab deserves a little recognition for their parody! 
(Chorus) This land is your land, it once was our land Until you stole it, you thieving white man From the mighty forests to the flowing waters This land you took from folks like me Your men were horny, our women were frisky* You stole our ponies, you sold us whiskey You talked of Jesus, while you spread diseases This land you took from folks like me This land is your land, it once was our land Until you stole it, you thieving white man From the mighty forests, to the flowing waters This land you took from folks like me We passed the peace pipes, we watched you smoke them We signed your treaties, and then you broke them You grabbed our riches, you sons of b*tches This land you took from folks like me This land is your land, it once was our land Until you stole it, you thieving white man From the mighty forests to the flowing waters This land you took from folks like me Without the paleface, I guess there'd be no Reservation smoke shop casino The best advice is "Cater to their vices" Money we take from folks like you This land is your land, it once was our land Until you stole it, you thieving white man From the mighty forests to the flowing waters This land you took from folks like me By the Rio Grande I went out walking Some people were crossing, I heard them talking Their words should scare ya' "Es mi tierra" "Su tierra fue hecha para mi" This land is your land, for now you own it But only for, a few more moments Across the border a chorus sounding "Esa tierra fue hecha para mi" _________________ "Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act."

It is entirely based in Flash...so it should work as long as you have Flash installed on your 'puter. On that page, there is also a Lo-Fi and a Hi-Fi link you can try. _________________ "Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act." George Orwell |

Being from Scots-Irish descent, I inherited a love for the roots music, and David Francey has the songwriting and singing skills which places him toward the top of my favorites these days. Yeah, I'm a born again independent music fan. 
Scotland born, and relocated to Ontario at the age of 12. He has worked the train yards of Toronto, the Yukon bush, and as a carpenter in the Eastern Townships. David now lives in Lanark Higlands in southern Ontario. _________________ "Speaking the truth in times of universal deceit is a revolutionary act." George Orwell |

Quote: Had a life that they tried to save
But the banks took it all away Hung a sign on a torn screen door Nobody lives here no more One would have to be a fickle fan to keep up.  . I listen to one cd per year if I'm lucky. I put a fave CD into the car disc player and listen to it where ever and when ever I go. Over and over and over.
2007 was Rod Steward yr, 2008 was Nora Jones yr. I think the closest I got to mixing up my listening pleasure was in 2006 with my 17 versions of Don't cry for me Argentina CD. What a year! _________________ Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game. Free speech is life itself. - Salman Rushdie |

Francey is an exceptional songwriter. The Seattle Labor Chorus did a version of his Torn Screen Door over on Labor Notes. SharynS wrote: One would have to be a fickle fan to keep up. No you don't have to be fickle at all...it's all part of the whole. Look at music as if it were snow, and all the songs were the snowflakes.

When a song hits me in the heart, I check it out and try to edit the wiki and add some data on the artist or song.

Smucksville folks, I am on dial up. Do you know what youtube sounds like on dial up 
I am just thankful to have dial up on the side of the mountain. Once upon a time I heard the premier of our find province say something along the lines everyone should have high speed internet. My guess is he has never been to the mountain side. I can be here one moment and in a blink of an eye - I am ripped off like some young fine looking girl in the sixties on her prom night where she gets her dress ripped off. |
