# Home, Sweet Home (1829)/Donald McDonald

DONALD M'DONALD.
My name it is Donald M'Donald, I live in the Highlands sae grand; I’ve followed our banners, and will do, Wharever my maker has land. Whan rankit amang the blue bannets, Nae danger can fear me ava; I ken that my brethren around me Are either to conquer or fa’. Brogues and brochen, and a’, Brochen and brogues, and a', And is na she very weel aff, Wha has brogues and brochen, and a'.
Last year we were wonderfu’ canty, Our friends and our country to see; But since the proud Corsican’s vauntie, We'll meet him by land or by sea. Whanever a clan is disloyal, Wharever our king has a foe,
​He’ll quickly see Donald M'Donald, Wi’ his Highlandmen a' in a row. Guns and pistols, and a’, Pistols and guns, and a’. He’ll quickly see Donald M'Donald, Wi guns and pistols, and a’.
What tho’ we befriendit young Charlie, To tell it I dinna think shame, Poor lad, he came to us but barely, And reckoned our mountains his hame. Its true that our reason forbade us, But tenderness carried the day: Had Geordie come friendless amang us, Wi’ him we had a’ gane awa’. Sword and buckler, and a’; Buckler and sword, and a' For George we’ll encounter the devil, Wi sword and buckler, and a’.
And oh! I would earnestly press him, The keys o’ the East to retain; For should he gie up the possession, We’d soon hae to force them again; Than yield up na inch wi’ dishonour, Tho’ it were my finishing blow, When he may depend on M’Donald, Wi’ his Highlandmen a’ in a row, Knees and elbows, and a’; Elbows and knees, and a'; Depend upon Donald M’Donald, Wi’s knees and elbows, and a’.
​If Buonaparte land at Fort William, Auld Europe nae langer sall grane. I laugh when I think how we’ll gall him, Wi’ bullet, wi’ steel, and wi’ stane. Wi’ rocks o’ the Nevis and Gairy, We’ll rattle him aff frae our shore. Or loll him asleep 'neath a carniey, And sing him Lochaber no more. Stanes and bullets, and a’, Bullets and stanes, and a’; We’ll finish the Corsican callan, Wi’ stanes and bullets, and a’,
The Gordon is guile in a hurry, The Campbell is steel to the bane, And Grant, and M’Kenzie, and Murray, And Cameron will hurkle to nane. The Stuart is sturdy and wannel, And sae is M’Leod and M'Kay, And I, their gudebrother, M'Donald, Shall ne’er be the last in the fray. Brogues and brochen, and a’, Brochen and brogues, and a’, Sae up wi’ the bonny blue bannet, The kilt and the feather, and a’.

'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.
Chorus—Home, home, sweet, sweet home,  There's no place like home;  O, 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, Thro' the woodbine whose fragrance shall cheer me no more.—Cho.
An exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain, O, give me my lowly thatched cottage again; The birds singly gaily that came at may call; Give me them, and that peace of mind, dearer than all.—Cho.

# Poems That Every Child Should Know/Home, Sweet Home

Home, Sweet Home!
"Home, Sweet Home" (John Howard Payne, 1791-1852) is a poem that reaches into the heart. What is home? A place where we experience independence, safety, privacy, and where we can dispense hospitality. "The family is the true unit."
'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home; ​A charm from the sky seems to hallow us there, Which, seek through 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!
An exile from Home, splendour dazzles in vain; O, give me my lowly thatched cottage again! The birds singing gaily, that came at my call,— Give me them,—and the peace of mind, dearer than all! Home! Home! sweet, sweet Home! There's no place like Home! there's no place like Home!
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! There's no place like Home! there's no place like Home!
To thee I'll return, overburdened with care; The heart's 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. Home! Home! sweet, sweet Home! There's no place like Home! there's no place like Home!

# A Dictionary of Music and Musicians/Home, Sweet Home

From volume 1 of the work.
​HOME, SWEET HOME. This favourite melody occurs in Bishop's opera of 'Clari, or the Maid of Milan,' brought out at Covent Garden May 8, 1823. In the published music it is called a 'Sicilian air,' but is not impossibly Bishop's own.
[ G. ]
# The New Student's Reference Work/Home, Sweet Home

See also Home! Sweet Home! on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Home, Sweet Home. The words of this favorite song were written by John Howard Paine. The melody to which they are set may be of Sicilian origin. It is commonly ascribed to Sir Henry Rowley Bishop (1786-1855) in whose opera of Clari or the Maid of Milan it occurs.
