HOME ON THE RANGE

OH, GIVE ME A HOME WHERE THE BUFFALO ROAM, AND
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.

Submitter comment: WHEN I WAS SMALLER, MY FATHER SANG THIS SONG (THE FEW LINES THAT HE
KNEW), WHENEVER HE WAS HAPPY, AS HIS FATHER DID BEFORE HIM.
