Pastures Of Plenty Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Everbob 

Cover art for Pastures Of Plenty lyrics by Woody Guthrie

The lyrics refer to the crops grown as "your" - "it's North up to Oregon to gather your hops. Dig the beets from your ground, cut the grapes from your vine To set on your table your light sparkling wine."

But, the ownership of the land is the singer's. "My land I'll defend with my life if it be Cause my pastures of plenty must always be free."

This concept always made Woody seem dangerous to the man. "This land was made for you and me "
