Lyrics Home on the Range / Don't Ever Take Away My Freedom - Peter, Paul and Mary

Home on the Range / Don't Ever Take Away My Freedom

Oh give me a home where the buffalo roam
And 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
Three horses grazing out my window, brown, black and white they stand
Rolling pastures they can wander, free and easy is their land
Don’t ever take away my freedom, don’t ever take it away
We must cherish and keep that one part of our lives
And the rest we’re gonna find one of these days…
One of these days
I always thought that I’d see in my own lifetime
An end to poverty, injustice and war
But now I’ve learned that that job will take a long, long time
So there’s one thing that must endure
Don’t ever take away my freedom, don’t ever take it away
We must cherish and keep that one part of our lives
And the rest we’re gonna find one of these days…
One of these days
When I am old and thinking over the whole life that I’ve led
If there’s one final wish left to me
I will pray that the children, who are yet to be born,
I will pray that they will always live free
Don’t ever take away my freedom, don’t ever take it away
We must cherish and keep that one part of our lives
And the rest we’re gonna find one of these days…
One of these days
There is a time for the singing and the sunshine
There is a time for the thunder and the rain
There is a time for the changing of the seasons my friend
But there is one thing we must never change
Don’t ever take away my freedom, don’t ever take it away
We must cherish and keep that one part of our lives
And the rest we’re gonna find one of these days…
One of these days
