I'm looking for the lyrics to a song sung on PBS's American
Soundtrack: This Land is Your Land.  It was performed by Randy Sparks
and the Christy Minstrels and was called "Just Americans".

Hi, Ahava-ga!

I have found what I think are the lyrics to the song, but I want to
make sure.  The song I have the lyrics for is titled "This Land is
Your Land," and was written by Woody Guthrie.  Do these look like the
lyrics to the chorus of the song:

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

Or like this:

This land is your land, this land is my land
From [the] California to the [Staten] New York Island,
From the Redwood Forest, to the Gulf stream waters,
[God blessed America for me.]

If so, I'll post the full lyrics along with my search strategy, etc.

Let me know,
bikerman-ga

The name of the song is Just Americans and it was performed on PBS,
however, catching a rerun of the show was just able to get us the name
of the song, now we cannot find the lyrics.

Hello ahava-ga,

Perhaps the best strategy would be to check your local PBS station's
program schedule and set your VCR.  A search for "American Soundtrack:
This Land is Your Land" shows that the program is going to be
rebroadcast this week.

Incidentally, I assume that the song for which you are looking is
called "Just Americans", not "This Land Is Your Land", which is the
name of the program.

Ah, yes.  I see now that the song name is "Just Americans" and not
"This Land is Your Land".  My apologies.  Thanks, justaskscott.
