so the sound wasn't great and I lost the connection before the end of the song, but there were several verses, even one I wasn't familiar with.

As I went walking I saw a sign there
And on the sign it said "No Trespassing"
But on the other side it didn't say nothing
That side was made for you and me

In the center of the city, in the shadow of the steeple
By the relief office I seen my people
They stood there hungry, I stood there asking
Is this land made for you and me?

A little story:
On Woody's dying bed, Pete sang along Woody's side. Pete vowed to sing these verses each time he sang the song. I have seen Pete literally thousands of times sing it. I even sang it with him on stage. Pete did sing those two verses each and every time, as I have vowed to never forget them. They are the most important verses of the song.

I just wish I could have been there. It was a little too far to come from Thailand.
