Home On The Range (Welcome Home/Bon Voyage)

Originally an 1873 published poem, "My Western Home," by Kansas native Brewster M. Higley, set to music by his friend Daniel E. Kelly. The first line of the celebrated chorus was originally "A home! A home!" and became "Home, home on the range..." in John Lomax's 1910 version. Officially the Kansas State Song as of 1947 and unofficially as much the anthem of the Old American West as any song in existence.
