Chorus

musical notes

 

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 NOT MET WITH ELSEWHERE.

HOME, HOME, SWEET SWEET HOME.
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME.

AN EXILE FROM HOME, SPLENDOUR
DAZZLES IN VAIN;

OH ! GIVE ME MY LOWLY THATCHED
COTTAGE AGAIN.

THE BIRDS SINGING GAILY THAT
COME AT MY CALL.

GIVE THEM WITH THAT PEACE OF
MIND, DEARER THAN ALL.

HOME , HOME , SWEET, SWEET HOME,
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME.
