The New Christy Minstrels
The Land of Giants
This is a land of giants
Green valleys and mountains high
With giant men
With mighty hands
And hopes as tall
AS the redwood stands
Build their dreams
To the sky
Far-sighted men like John D Rockefeller
Who had a dream about a railroad
Courageous and dedicated men
Like John Luther Jones
Who stood ready to navigate the great steam locomotives
All a cross the land
All that was needed were a few thousand miles of steel track
And a great big giant of a man said
"You'll get that steel or my name ain't Joe Magarac"
