Sweet Rachel Ann Lyrics - Porter Wagoner

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 

[ ac.guitar ] 

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 sweet Rachel Ann
