                      Chorus



​
                      Verse 2

​                          etc.
Oh 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

       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 the glittering cities so bright

How often at night when the heavens are bright
With the light of the glittering stars
Have I stood there amazed and I asked as I gazed
If their glory exceeds that of ours?

Oh, give me a land where the bright diamond sand,
Flows leisurely down with the stream,
Where the graceful white swan glides slowly along,
Like a maid in a heavenly dream
