Volkslied van Kansas (U.S.A.)

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.

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 where the heavens are bright

With the light from the glittering stars

Have I stood there amazed and I asked as I gazed

If their glory exceeds that of ours.

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.

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.
