"Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm"
Albert H. Campbell & Irving Gillette (Henry Burr)
Edison Blue Amberol 2270
1914
Song by Albert Gumble & A. Seymour Brown
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.
Where the honeysuckle vine 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 memory haunts you. Rebecca
wants you, so come back to Sunnybrook Farm."
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 long to kiss her.
And so I’m going back again.
