Home On the Range
Traditional American Folk Song

O give me a home where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day

CHORUS:
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

<transcriber's note: speaking of "seldom heard", these next two verses are not 
sung often>

Where the air is so pure and the zephyrs so free
And the breezes so balmy and light
That I would not exchange my home on the range
For all of the cities so bright

How often at night when the heavens are bright
With the light of the glittering stars
I stand there amazed & I ask as I gaze
Does their glory exceed that of ours?


*There were a number of disputes and lawsuits over authorship of this song in the 
19th century.  The probable authors are Brewster Higley and Dan Kelly*
