1
Home on the range
2
Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam,
3
Where the deer and the antelope play;
4
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
5
And the skies are not cloudy all day
6
Home, home on the range
7
Where the deer and the antelope play
8
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word
9
And the skies are not cloudy all day.
10
How often at night when the heavens are bright
11
With the lights from the glittering stars
12
Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed
13
If their glory exceeds that of ours.
14
Chorus
15
Oh, give me a land where the bright diamond sand
16
Flows leisurely down the stream;
17
There the graceful, white swan goes gliding along
18
Like a maid in a heavenly dream.
19
Chorus
20
Where the air is so pure, the zephyrs so free,
21
The breezes so balmy and light,
22
That I would not exchange my home on the range
23
For all of the cities so bright.
24
Chorus
25
Oh, I love those wild flowers in this dear land of ours,
26
The curlew I love to hear scream,
27
And I love the white rocks and the antelope flocks
28
That graze on the mountain tops green.
29
Chorus

This song, according to John Lomax, was first printed in 1911,
32
And for twenty years attracted practically no attention. It is
33
Said to have been sung on the doorstep of Franklin D. Roosevelt's
34
Home by a group of newspaper reporters the night he was first
35
Elected President.
