Sweet Rachel Ann, sweet Rachel Ann

When are you ever coming home?

Sweet Rachel Ann, we've waited here through many seasons now

We've waited here but you have not returned

When you left you promised us that you'd return someday

We miss you and our love for you still burns

Our little girl who longed to

see the world beyond these hills

Sweet Rachel Ann, you felt you had to go

The autumn wind again has blown

the last leaves from the trees

Making room for winter's ice and snow

Sweet Rachel Ann, sweet Rachel Ann

Oh, how we miss you since you've gone

Sweet Rachel Ann, sweet Rachel Ann

When are you ever coming home?

Spring had kissed the earth again

Wait what's that I see? Is it someone running up the path?

Oh, wait a minute - could it be? Rachel is that you?

Sweet Rachel Ann, have you come home at last?

Rachel I hardly recognize you now

You look so tired and thin

Sweet Rachel Ann, you're different than before

And that world that lies beyond these hills

Well it's hurt you, Rachel Ann

But now you're home and nothing's gonna ever hurt you

Not anymore

Sweet Rachel Ann, sweet Rachel Ann

Our love will make you good as new again

Sweet Rachel Ann, sweet Rachel Ann

At last you have come home, sweet Rachel Ann

Rachel Ann
