The most famous song of the nineteenth century. • words by John Howard Payne • music by Henry Rowley Bishop • published by G. E. Blake • sung by sheet music singer, Fred Feild • piano according to the sheet music • 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 • Chorus: • Home! home! sweet, sweet home! • There's no place like home! • There's no place like home! • 2. 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 with the peace of mind, dearer than all • This genteel, vaguely classical piece was used as a good-night/closing song at the end of many evening functions during the 1800s. All would join in with robust voice. Because of this it became very well-known and well-loved. It can be found in Richard Jackson's book Popular Song of 19th Century America. Midi and mp3 are found online at the Stephen Foster American Dreams website. • ---------------------------------------------- • Get the sheet music and MIDI at: • https://www.sheetmusicsinger.com/home...
