Roosevelt was first elected president a group of reporters sang "Home on the Range" on his doorstep in New York City. He asked them to repeat it, and made the statement, so it was said, that it was his favorite song. Later he often listened to the ballad at the White House, and it was reported that at Warm Springs he frequently led his guests in singing it. Stories of the President's approval soon made "Home on the Range" one of the country's hit songs. By 1934 it had moved to the top on the ra­ dio, where it stayed for six months. Everybody sang it, from Lawrence Tibbett to the smallest entertainer. Radio chains, motion picture com­ panies, phonograph record concerns and music publishers had a field day -all free of royalties, for there was no copyright and the author was un­ known. At its peak the song was literally sung around the world. Writing from Bucharest, William L. White, son of William Allen White of Kansas, said: They all know American songs, which is pleasant if you are tired of wars and little neutral capitals, and are just possibly homesick.

  • Lyrics to the Top 100 Western Songs
    Lyrics to the Top 100 Western Songs As chosen by members of the Western Writers Association and sung by various artists Skip Skipson www.western100.com [email protected] Foreword Several years ago, the Western Writers of America surveyed its membership to choose the Top 100 Western Songs. The list was presented at the WWA’s Annual Convention in Knoxville, Tennessee. It was reprinted on the website of American Cowboy magazine, where I happened to see it in July, 2014. The list looked interesting, so I spent the Fourth of July weekend searching for the songs, their lyrics, and something about their background. By Monday evening I had made a pretty good start at tracking this information down, and I had become hooked on the music and its fascinating history. I created a comprehensive website, with links to YouTube versions of all the songs, to the lyrics as sung in the YouTubes, and to information on the backgrounds of the songs. You can see it at www.western100.com This document is a reprint of the lyrics as they appear on the website, presented alpha‐ betically by title. It also includes a list of the songs by their original rank. The lyrics on the website have been meticulously transcribed from the YouTube versions referenced there. Those presented here are a close match to those on the website, but do not include every update and correction made there. Nevertheless, they are very close to the lyrics as sung in one important recording of the song. Please note that there can be many variations in the lyrics of a song, due to varying inter‐ pretations by historians, arrangers, and artists.
