Home on the Range Jesse Ferguson

lyrics by Dr. Brewster M. Higley

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 sky is not clouded all day.

VERSE 2
Oh, give me the land where the bright
diamond sand
Throws its light from the glittering stream
Where glideth along the graceful white swan,
Like a maid in a heavenly dream.

VERSE 3
Oh, give me the gale of the Solomon vale,
Where life streams with buoyancy flow,
On the banks of the Beaver, where seldom if ever
Any poisonous herbage doth grow.

VERSE 4
How often at night, when the heavens were bright
With the light of the glittering stars,
Have I stood here amazed and asked as I gazed
If their glory exceeds this of ours.

VERSE 5
I love the wild flowers in this bright land of ours;
I love too the wild curley's scream,
The bluffs and white rocks and antelope flocks
That graze on the mountain so green.

VERSE 6
The air is so pure, the breeze is so clear,
The zephyrs so balmy and light,
I would not exchange my home here to range
Forever in azure so bright.
