Home on the Range

The cowboy song, for 2 to 4 singers: the verse and the refrain, as a gentle waltz. The soprano sings the melody, the alto sings the words beneath it in thirds and sixths, the tenor fills the chord, and the bass holds the roots on "oo", singing the words only for "Home, home on the range".

The first verse

Words: Brewster Higley (1872 or 1873)Tune: Daniel E. Kelley (1870s)

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.
