Lyrics:
First verse
‘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 thro' the world, is ne'er met with elsewhere;; Home! home! sweet, sweet home, There's no place like home, there's no place like home.
Second verse
An exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain; Oh! give me my lowly thatch'd cottage again; The birds singing gaily, that some at my call; Give me them with that peace of mind, dearer than all, Home! home! sweet, sweet home; There's no place like home, there's no place like home!Third verse - 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. Home! home! sweet, sweet home; But give me, oh! give me the peasures of home!Fourth verse - To thee I'll return overburden'd with care, The heart's dearest solace will smil
