Home on the Range
/ˌhəʊm ɒn ðə ˈreɪndʒ/
/ˌhəʊm ɑːn ðə ˈreɪndʒ/
- a popular US song about the American West. It was first published in 1873 in the Smith County Pioneer newspaper in Kansas, where it is now the official state song. It begins: “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.”
