Home Sweet Home
Melody   Sir Henry Bishop, 1823
Lyrics   John Howard Payne, 1823
Sung by  Rose Ponselle

1.  Mid pleasures and palaces
Though we may roam.
Be it ever so humble,
There's no place like home.
A charm from the skies
Seems to hallow us there,
Which seek through the world
Is ne'er met with elsewhere.

2.  I gaze on the moon
As I tread the drear wild,
And feel that my mother
Now thinks of her child;
As she looks on that moon
From our own cottage door,
Thro' the woodbine whose fragrance
Shall cheer me no more.

Chorus
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,
There's no place like home,
Oh, there's no place like home.
Oh, there's no place like home.

 

 

Stanzas 3 - 5

3. An exile from home splendor dazzles in vain
Oh, give me my low, thatched cottage again,
The birds singing gaily that come at my call,
Give me them with that peace of mind, dearer than all.
Chorus:

4. How sweet 'tis to sit neath a fond father's smile,
And the cares of a mother to soothe and beguile.
Let others delight 'mid new pleasures to roam,
But give me, oh give me the pleasures of home.
Chorus:

5. To thee I'll return overburdened with care,
The hearts dearest solace will smile on me there
No more from that cottage again will I roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.
Chorus:
