Where the deer and the antelope play,
Where seldom is heard, a discouraging word
And the skies are not cloudy all day.

Where the deer and the antelope play;
Where seldom is heard, a discouraging word,
And the skies are not cloudy all day.

And the breezes so balmy and light
That I would not exchange my home on the range
For all of the cities so bright
