Lyrics:

'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

Chorus:
Home, sweet home, there's no place like home
Home, sweet home, there's no place like home

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
Through the woodbine whose fragrance will cheer me no more

(Chorus)

An exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain
Oh give me my lowly-thatched cottage again
The birds singing gaily that came at my call
Give me them and that peace of mind, dearer than all

(Chorus)

Home, sweet home, there's no place like home
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home
