There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me;
Sign was painted, it said private property;
But on the back side it didn't say nothing;
That side was made for you and me.

Ain't the words they sing... well, not exactly..

Really? I think that is the version Pete is singing there, rather than the "no trespassing" version.

There was a big high wall there that tried to stop me;
Pete: A great high wall there that tried to stop me

Sign was painted, it said private property;
Pete: A great big sign there said private property

But on the back side it didn't say nothing;
Pete: But on the other side, it didn’t say nothing

That side was made for you and me.
Pete: That side was made for you and me.

In folk music, that's practically word for word!

In lit crit, it ain't even in the ballpark...

It's almost as bad as the Vienna version of Ode to Joy...

As I've said elsewhere, the man is a global treasure.

A nice way to start my day.

This was my favorite song in pre-school and we sang it all the time.

Now I'm all teary.

According to the announcer during the practice session the other man is "mumble Rodriguez Seeger" I think the first name was Tao but that seems odd. Anyways it's Pete's step son.

I was wondering when Garth Brooks turned into a dark brunette with lots of facial hair and fit physique.:)

Bastards.

However, you can watch the entire thing (no random access) on HBO's feed if you're in the U.S. or territories, so I guess it's not that unreasonable.

Now listening, with occasional glances.

And of course, those of us who'd like to share in the joy but don't live in the US get left out in the cold. Typical.

"This video is only available in the U.S. and territories.
We apologize to the rest of the world."

Yeah, whatever. Trust them to use this as a money-making opportunity instead of sharing.

So even if we find one up on Youtube you're hosed? Cause this still got me the video:

When I enter This land is your land on you tube it's the first thing up.

[zinzinzinnia.livejournal.com]

It'll be there until HBO decides it's a copyright violation and gets it taken down, as with the previous one. But thanks -- I'll watch it before it disappears!

[buttonlass.livejournal.com]

I can still get it on youtube. Maybe people will just keep posting it in various forms.:)

[zinzinzinnia.livejournal.com]

I hope to hell they do!

But on the other side, it didn't say anything ... this song, was made for you and me.
