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
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, 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. 
 
Chorus
The red man was pressed from this part of the West
He's likely no more to return,
To the banks of Red River where seldom if ever
Their flickering camp-fires burn. 
 
Chorus
How often at night when the heavens are bright
With the light from 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 prairies where I roam
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
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

이 곡은 원래 미국 캔사스 주의 공식노래(Official song of the State)로서 1873년
'Daniel Kelly'가 곡을 쓰고 'Brewster Higley' 가 가사를 써서 알려지게 되었는데,
캔사스 지역의 사슴과 들소가 노니는 들판의 풍경을 묘사하고 있다.
또한 이 곡은 수 많은 가수들이 불러서 알려져 왔고 국내서는 중등학교 교과서에
실려서 어렸을 적 추억을 생각나게 한다. (옮김)
