Gus Backus - Home on the Range lyrics

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! 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! 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! Oh, give me a land Where the bright diamond sand Flows leisurely down the stream There the graceful, white swan Goes gliding along Like a maid in a heavenly dream! 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 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! 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! Oh, I love those wild flowers In this dear land of ours The curlew I love to hear scream And I love the white rocks And the antelope flocks That graze on the mountain tops green 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!
