[Music]
Beautiful home, sweet home,
Beautiful home, sweet home,
Beautiful home, sweet home,
Lord, I want to join the angels, beautiful home.
Recorded by the author from the singing of Samuel E. Asbury, September
10, 1932, as he remembered its being sung in the 1880's in camp
meetings in western North Carolina. The above is merely the chorus of
the song. But it is essentially the same, melodically, as the verse.
The text proceeds:
Fathers have a home, sweet home _etc._
Mothers have a home, sweet home _etc._
By and by we'll go and see them _etc._
Won't that be a happy meeting _etc._
