General
Front: Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam, where the deer and the antelope play, Where never 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 never 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 of the glittering stars, Have I stood there amazed and asked as I gazed, If their glory exceeds that of ours. Greetings from Home ~ On ~ The ~ Range, Modern Tourist Court and Trailer Park, Colby, Kansas, Fred and Elizabeth Kreamer, Owners
