Verses:

Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam,

Where the deer and the antelope play.

Where never is heard a discouraging word,

And the skies are not cloudy all day.

 

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

 

Chorus:

Home, home on the range,

Where the deer and the antelope play.

Where never is heard a discouraging word,

And the skies are not cloudy all day.
