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. Where the air is so pure and 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.
