Accompaniment by James Pitt-Payne:
Lyrics
1. There’s a farm upon a hill, down in Maine
And there 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
Chorus
Where the honeysuckle vines twines itself around the door
A sweetheart mine, is waiting patiently for me
I can hear the whippoorwill, tell me softly from the hill
Her mem’ry haunts you, Rebecca wants you
So come back to Sunnybrook Farm
2. 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
