I'm not sure just why my brain made this connection (as Steven Wright once
said, "I don't know about you, but my brain is really...bossy") but for what
it's worth, about 10 years ago I saw Arlo Guthrie at Memorial Auditiorium.
He sang his daddy's old anthem, "This Land is Your Land," but he included 
some verses that Arlo claimed Woody wrote but that they don't teach in school.
One went (I'm doing this from memory, so excuse me if it doesn't quite scan)

	As I was walking along a highway
	I saw a sign (that) said "No trespassing."
	And on the other side, it didn't say nothin'.
	This land is made for you and me.

Good ol' Woody...
