Official Song of the State of Kansas
Home on the Range Written by Brewster Higley Composed by Daniel Kelley |
|||
|
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
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 the cities so bright. |
|||
|
Chorus
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
The red man was pressed from this part of the West, He's likly no more to return To the banks of Red River where seldom if ever Their flickering campfires burn. Chorus How often at night when the heavens are bright With the light of the glittering stars, Have I stood here amazed and asked as I gazed If their glory exceeds that of ours. |
|||
|
Chorus
Oh, I love these 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. Chorus Then I would not exchange my 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. 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. |
