Early  one morning  I walked out alone,
 I looked down the street;  no one was around.
 The sun was just comin'  up over my home,
 On Hickory Street  in a little farm town.  And
 ]
Oooo-ee, ain't  the mornin' light pretty,
 When the dew is still heavy,  so bright and early.
 My home  on the range;  it's a one-horse town,
 And it's alright with me.
Plow  broke the prairie,  the prairie gave plenty,
 The little towns blossomed  and soon there were many.
 Scattered like fireflies  across the dark night,
 And one was called Early,  and they sure named it right.  'Cause
 ]
Oooo-ee, ain't  the mornin' light pretty,
 When the dew is still heavy,  so bright and early.
 My home  on the range;  it's a one-horse town,
 And it's alright with me.
Many  dry summers parched  all the fields,
 They burnt the fine colors  and cut down on the yield.
 But the rain has returned  to wash away our tears,
 It's the fullest green summer  that
 We've seen for years.  And
Oooo-ee, ain't  the mornin' light pretty,
 When the dew is still heavy,  so bright and early.
 My home  on the range;  it's a one-horse town,
 And it's alright with me.
