The Canadian version of "This Land is Your Land" is not a parody. It was composed by Pete Seeger with the American lyrics
but not recorded or performed due to Pete being blacklisted. The Travellers invited Pete to perform with them in Canada and
wrote the Canadian version when they heard Pete perform it. Pete gave the publishing rights to them in gratitude for being
able to make a few bucks working. It's the real deal and a darn fine performance by the Jays.
Yay Canada.
