about

A song written as a poem way back in 1873 by Dr. Brewster M. Higley with the music provided slightly later by Daniel E. Kelley. Reputed to be FDR's favorite tune.

lyrics

Home On The Range

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

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

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

(chorus)

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 of the cities so bright

(chorus)
