O give me a home where the buffaloes 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

 

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

(repeat chorus)

 

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?

(repeat chorus)
