First
Verse
There's a farm upon a hill, down in Maine,
And there's a little girlie waits for me, Rebecca is her name.
When we wandered down the lane, Just we two, And she was grieving
when I was leaving And then I promised to be true.
Second
Verse
I can see her just the same, standing there,
And she had on her little gingham gown And ribbons in her
hair. My Rebecca looked so sweet, Dressed so plain, I knew
I'd miss her, I longed to kiss her, And so I'm going back
again.
Chorus
Where the honey suckle vine(Where the honey
suckle vine) twines around the door,(twines itself around
the door,) A sweetheart mine,(a sweet heart mine,) Is waiting
patiently for me;(for me for me); I can hear the whippoor
will(I can hear the whippoor will) Tell me softly from the
hill,(Tell me softly from the hill,) Her mem'ry haunts you,
Rebecca wants you So come back to Sunny Brook Farm.
