Home on the Range
Words and Music by David Guion
Verse 1:
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.
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.
Verse 2:
Oh, give me a land where the bright diamond sand,
Flows leisurely down the stream;
Where the graceful, white swan goes gliding along,
Like a maid in a heavenly dream.
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 3:
Where the air is so pure and the zephyrs so free,
The breezes so balmy and bright;
That I would not exchange my home on the range,
For all of the cities so bright.
(Repeat Chorus)
Verse 4:
How often at night when the heavens are bright,
With the light of the glittering stars,
Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed,
If their glory exceeds that of ours.
(Repeat Chorus)
