I can't find it on YouTube, but I much prefer the alternative version that is the first track of the Woody Guthrie Centennial Collection.  Has a slightly more political feel to it.

"There was a big high wall there/

That tried to stop me/

Sign was painted/

Said 'private property'/

But on the backside/

It didn't say nothing...

This land was made for you and me."

Basically, I just love Woody Guthrie.  Everyone should listen to more from him.

Yeah, I really love Woody Guthrie as well, couldn't get into Arlo Guthrie as much, but it did lead me to becoming a fan of Tom Rush and Phil Ochs.

But more on Woody (ha), my favorite stuff of his is on the Dust Bowl Ballads album. I love the two songs about Tom Joad (basically a musical version of Grapes of Wrath) because I'm a big Steinbeck fan on top of enjoying Woody's music. That, and I also really enjoy Blowin Down this Road (I aint gonna be treated this way).
