BBB Etymology - Home Sweet Home

The title of an immensely popular song taken from the melodrama Clari, or the Maid of Milan (1823) written by the American John Howard Payne (1791-1852) - who never had a home in his life - with six musical numbers composed by Sir Henry Bishop (1786-1855). The words do not actually occur in the body of the song, though 'home, sweet sweet home' does.
