A photo from “My Name Is New York,” showing Woody Guthrie playing while he gets his shoes shined.

My name is New York, I’m a brick on a brick I’m a hundred folks running, and ten dying sick I’m a saint, I’m a sinner, a whore and her pimp Your ocean’s the mirror I look in to primp. —“My Name Is New York,” Woody Guthrie

"This Land Is Your Land" was written at a small rooming house on 43rd Street and Sixth Avenue on February 23, 1940, within a few days of his arrival.
