[TheItalianGodess]

[Jamesmac30]

Great thanks! this was recorded on 27th September 1933 with Lenny Hayton and orchestra

[1117kate]

OH.MY.GOD. i wiil sing this for my vocal exams :o -.-

[MSnormanify]

This was actually recorded in 1933, and was Bing at his peak. It was a marvalious voice

[Phaden666]

Patrolling' the Mojave.....

[leopard10able]

Bbbbbbaaaaaaaaddddddddd

[bavoification]

I'm a student in Belgium. This song is often sung whilst drinking a lot. It is really awesome, bot mostly we prefer to sing it more up-tempo.

[teddyrueckert2]

This song had more than one verse?

[Mom1910]

A voice never to be duplicated,he was simply the greatest.

[TEHL33MONESS]

Ah, I just love listening to this song in my head and sitting back. Makes a nice image in my head, where the skies aren't cloudy all day.

[patthecatman]

everytime i hear this record, i say to myself, "holy sh__, bing, you were Great!!!!!

[benoitdidnotdoit]

[NordicHealer]

I dislike that he takes liberties with the original melody! It looses its simple Beauty.

[smurfman95]

Oh kay so this song wasxnt written for Where The BUffalo ROam the film...kk all I wanted to know

[1915fas]

Sounds tinny. His mordant Irish thing is a bit much. Overwrought. I expected a more relaxed version . Got to listen to the later one soon. Otherwise, I like the Sinatra Columbia version for is purity of tone and declamatory style.

[BigBingFan]

@1915fas

You gotta remember this was the singing style of the day, though no one had his range of voice. The recording wasn't perfect and made it sound "tinny" to you maybe, but the recording process was greatly enhanced by the time Sinatra recorded his version, plus Sinatra was at his peak when the "modern technology" came out. This version was during a deep Depression, and needed the heart-tugging, reassuring, and expressive style of Bing at this time. Just wanted to give perspective.

[1915fas]

@BigBingFan At least Bing sings the chorus. I just listened to Gene, Roy and Burl and they don't. Maybe it was beyond their abilities to project like that. As I listen to Bing slurring a few syllables, I'm reminded of how much Elvis borrowed from him among a lot of other singers he borrowed from. Had Elvis done this in the fifties, I think he would have overdone the sentimentality by exaggerating certain vocal characteristics as he often did when imitating somebody.

[GoldenFlither15]

It's songs like this that make me love America. And I'm Canadian.

[diamontdiadem]

II had to play it on the guitar. ^^

[Devil5Inside]

@diamontdiadem Can you give me the cords? I also will play it in guitar, but I haven't the cords. Please answer by E-Mail!

[BlueAvenueLtd]

There's another Crosby out there that's great. Scored the winning goal for the Canadian hockey team against the USA. Sid the Kid from Nova Scotia where deers and antelopes play.

[mikekeelancfc]

"oh give me a home

wares thers no royal throne

ware thers nothing but catholic stay

ware seldom is seen

the face of the queen

and the flute bandss play rocky batts way"

[unreal030]

[Jake9360]

@mikekeelancfc You butt-hole! the league has nothing to do with the song!

[loopinsx]

^__^ Classic. My dad sings this all the time

[tschatterfox]

Mr Crosby does a wonderful job here... My dad used to sing this song when I was young, and I daresay I've adopted it as a favorite song from him.

[lablover959]

1:41- 1:53- Favorite Lines!

[DENISMURRELL]

This is Bing's first version of the song. It dates from the early 1930's. He recorded it again in the 1940's but it wasn't nearly as good as this version when bing's voice was really something to be marvelled at. I have tears in my eyes every time I hear it and I'm not even American. I guess other countries have ranges, buffaloes and antelopes too.

[lorgain2]

@DENISMURRELL You are right, the early Crosby recordings are excellent, the man had a great range [nothing to do with this song] in his early days. Thanks for the comment.

[closedcircle1]

@lorgain2 It's from 1934. I used to have a 2 album set with rarities he recorded around 31-34. This was one of the tracks. Another excellent track was 'lazy day' which I haven't heard for years. I prefer his 28-34 recordings. His recording of 'temptation' from arounnd 1930 is magic.

[derrymc20]

This oul Bing record , brings me back a wee while,to them days when all was sunny , in spite of little money.

Well done oul friend. Keep up the good work.

yer a dimond

Slante, Francie

[lorgain2]

Thanks Francie, Crosby had an excellent voice, listening to the 2nd verse of the song brings out the best in the man, Bing was a one off.

[venbergm]

Nice song! I sing it with my choir.

[lorgain2]

Thanks for the comment, venbergm

[wayfinder01]

this is amazing and awesome my grandpa and my papa like this song!

[lorgain2]

Wayfinder, too true old Bing was a mastero.

[wayfinder01]

your right men two thumbs up.

[SN1987B]

I'm from Kansas, and very far from home right now.  Hearing this song made my day and reminded me of the heart of my homeland.

[lorgain2]

Thanks for the comment SN.

[sunnyutopian]

Bless you, lorgain2, for this priceless piece of contribution. It's because of these gems that your country is a GREAT one...

As a non-American whose first language is English, and who hails from another great country, India, I can identify with the heart and soul of this great patriotic spirit that the Americans have.

Salute you folks! Long live Liberty and Brotherhood among Nations!!!

[lorgain2]

Sunnyutopian, I am Irish and very much interested in Crosby`s brilliant singing voice, I wouldn`t be too happy with the US and its foreign policy.

[m1947n]

This kind of music belongs to everyone

[RankielShenanigans]

but me...

[shlaag234]

calm down

[kev2596]

Great version

[lorgain2]

Kev2596 thank you, couldn`t agree more.

[lorgain2]

Well done tomato.

[tomatozyo]

Yeah it is.

[kyliedance1]

Is this the Kansas state song because I have to sing it for a report on Kansas?

[lorgain2]

Sorry kyliedance1, don`t know, try Google.

[lorgain2]

darkdolores, I recorded this of a very old cassette tape, this could explain the "pre-war sound", I would think this recording dates from around the early 1940s. Thanks for the comment.

[54spiritedwill54]

Bing is great at singing.

[lorgain2]

Thanks for the comment 54.

[darkdolores]

This is beautiful - when was it recorded? It has a kind of pre-War sound to it.

[lorgain2]

Thanks Ale.

[alechorseman]

Very beautiful version and singer. I'm also love Jimmie Grier version (Brunswick 7359. matrix LA 277)

[lorgain2]

You are a long way from home, good luck.

[NotesCollector]

What a classic song!i still remember hearing this when i was just a wee tot;its been a long time since then and this brings a tear to my eyes,,Thanks for posting this!

[kkkkkuxx]

Oh, give me a home where the buffalo roam And the deer and the antelope play Where seldom is heard a discouraging word And the skies are not cloudy all day 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 How often at night when the heavens are bright With the light from the glittering stars Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed If their glory exceeds that of ours

[Corrie121]

Thank you for adding the words to this great song.

[lorgain2]

My pleasure thank you corrie121.

[kkkkkuxx]

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 Oh, I love those wild flow'rs 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 mountaintops green 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

[oleonepace]

As a very small child in London.England in the early 1950's I would be put to bed to the sound of this beautiful song played on a wind-up gramophone. Today is the first time I have heard it since then and I have tears in my eyes.

[taroron922]

I've been very familiar with this song since I was a kid. My father loved this song and he always played it with a cassette player(^O^).... Now, as I've grown up and will become 20 next month, I still love it for its beautiful melody and nostalgic lyrics. Thanks for posting such an amazing music!!

[checkmate1234]

this song is nice!

thank you!

[Frinoon]

Bing Crosby's voice will be appreciated forever generation by generation.

[bigalwhittle]

When I was a kid, I used to have ukelele songbook with this song in it. And I remeber a verse that started

'The redman was presssed from this part of the west

Ti unlikely he'll ever return'

I suppose it must have too racist and controversial even for the 1930's. Or perhaps it made the song too long.

So right aantonella68.

[aantonella68]

So charming! :o)

[machree01]

Dr. Brewster M. Higley originally wrote the words in a poem called "My Western Home," early 1870s.

Bing is great at singing.

[lorgain2]

To appreciate what a fine voice Bing had listen to the second verse of this old standard, it is a masterful recording.
