8. The first quote is serious in claims of ownership...the second...not.

Guthrie's original lyric included this protest of private land ownership:

As I went walking, I saw a sign there;
And on the sign there, It said, 'NO TRESPASSING.'
But on the other side, It didn't say nothing.
That side was made for you and me.

Decades upon decades of schoolroom omission has warped the meaning of the song.
