Woody Guthrie had the answer to these "No Trespassing" signs, in one of the little-known verses of This Land is Your Land:

As I was walking, I saw a sign,

And the sign said: "No Trespassing."(1)

But on the other side, it didn't say nuthin'

THAT side was made for you and me!

Pete Seeger sang this verse at Barack Obama's inauguration in 2009. Sing along!

(1) Some versions say "Private Property."
