Home on the rangeOh, give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope playWhere seldom is heard a discouraging
wordAnd the skies are not cloudy all day
Home, home on the rangeWhere the deer and the antelope playWhere seldom is heard a discouraging
wordAnd the skies are not cloudy all day
How often at night when the heavens are bright
With the light from the glittering starsHave I stood there amazed and asked as I
gazedIf their glory exceeds that of ours
Home, home on the rangeWhere the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging wordAnd the skies are not cloudy all day
Where the air is so pure, the zephyrs so freeThe breezes so balmy and light
That I would not exchange my home on the range
For all of the cities so bright
Home, home on the rangeWhere the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging wordAnd the skies are not cloudy all day
Oh, I love those wild flow'rs in this dear land of ours
The curlew, I love to hear screamAnd I love the white rocks and the antelope
flocksThat graze on the mountaintops green
Home, home on the rangeWhere the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging wordAnd the skies are not cloudy all day
