Home on the Range

Oh, give me a home where the buff alo roam,

Where the deer and the antelope play,

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Home, home on the range,

Where the deer and the antelope play;

Where seldom is heard a discouraging word

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Where the air is so pure, the zephyrs so f ree,

The breezes so balmy and light,

That I would not exchange my home on the range

For all of the cities so bright.

How of ten at night when the heavens are bright, With the light f rom the glittering stars,

Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed, I f their glory exceeds that of ours.
