Anthem of Kansas USA

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.

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.

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.

Oh, I love these wild flowers
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 mountain-tops green.

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.

Is this all you do? Rip at certain states you don't like. well fuck you cause Home on the Range is a classic along with My Old Kentucky Home that everyone on that video bitches about. Really, what state you do live in. City Slicker, White Trash, Fuckin' NIgger Gangster. All you do is bitch about the Midwest. Respect all the U.S.A. Be a real American. Disrespect one you disrespect all. Don't be a terrorist bitch.

Very nice song. I have good memories for it. Never been to KS, but the seal in the flag is cool!!! I think this song doesn't only speak for Kansas but to every place where people has their home on the range.

Not actually a real range but on a metaphorical "range" where people live surrounded by their loved ones in a place called "HOME".

Hey people of Kansas say hi to Dorothy, tin man, scarecrow, toto, witch of the north, and the wizard for me.
