<p class="tit-song">A HOME ON THE RANGE <span class="pagenum"><SPAN id="page039" name="page039"></SPAN>(p. 039)</span></p>
<p>Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam,<br/>
Where the deer and the antelope play,<br/>
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word<br/>
And the skies are not cloudy all day.</p>
<p class="add1em">Home, home on the range,<br/>
Where the deer and the antelope play;<br/>
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word<br/>
And the skies are not cloudy all day.</p>
<p>Where the air is so pure, the zephyrs so free,<br/>
The breezes so balmy and light,<br/>
That I would not exchange my home on the range<br/>
For all of the cities so bright.</p>
<p>The red man was pressed from this part of the West,<br/>
He's likely no more to return<br/>
To the banks of Red River where seldom if ever<br/>
Their flickering camp-fires burn.</p>
<p>How often at night when the heavens are bright<br/>
With the light from the glittering stars,<br/>
Have I stood here amazed and asked as I gazed<br/>
If their glory exceeds that of ours.</p>
<p>Oh, <span class="pagenum"><SPAN id="page040" name="page040"></SPAN>(p. 040)</span> I love these wild flowers in this dear land of ours,<br/>
The curlew I love to hear scream,<br/>
And I love the white rocks and the antelope flocks<br/>
That graze on the mountain-tops green.</p>
<p>Oh, give me a land where the bright diamond sand<br/>
Flows leisurely down the stream;<br/>
Where the graceful white swan goes gliding along<br/>
Like a maid in a heavenly dream.</p>
<p>Then I would not exchange my home on the range,<br/>
Where the deer and the antelope play;<br/>
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word<br/>
And the skies are not cloudy all day.</p>
<p class="add1em">Home, home on the range,<br/>
Where the deer and the antelope play;<br/>
Where seldom is heard a discouraging word<br/>
And the skies are not cloudy all day.</p>
