An old favourite

Last thursday, I was having a whimsical mood and recalled this song during work.
In fact, I sent out the below in a text message to some of my friends =)

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.

1. My music teacher only taught us these verses.
2. There seems to be many, many versions of this song.
3. My mother is wont to think that I'm listening to a christian song whenever I play something over and over again, thus irritating me right now.

Here's a midi, which is to familiar you with its pacing. Just listening to abit of it is enough.

Some versions I like:
