    It might surprise you but Home On The Range was a staple in classrooms during my grade school days. We would be singing that song with gusto usually after lunch in order to wake up the dull atmosphere. And it's funny because we didn't even know what kind of an animal is the antelope. But in fairness to that song, that's where we learned that the plural of deer is also deer and not deers.

    That Canadian folksinger has an awesome voice, @Joe Riley , and he does do a superb job on one of the great old-time songs.
    Since my first memories are of listening to Gene Autry sing this song, nothing can ever really compare to that first memory; but this is a great version, too, and more verses here, that I had never heard before.

    And @Corie Henson , if you watch this video real closely, you wwill see a small herd of antelope out on the prairie, just like the song says they are.

    Home On The Range RARE EARLY VERSION ; IT'S DIFFERENT 1932

    "You should Google this song, because it has a slightly complicated history. This piano roll is from 1932, and credited to Robison, who might be Willard Robison or a relative. In any case, this was the original version of one of the most famous tunes ever. It was later recorded by Bing Crosby and Gene Autry, and the versions they sing are so familiar, that if anybody played this original version, a lot of well-meaning people will try to correct the "mistakes".
