Searching for "where the purple lilacs grow" brings up a lot of hits.

There's a recording here (click), and one by a very young performer here (click).

Camp Walt Whitman Songbook

Purple Lilacs

I wanna wake up in the morning
where the purple lilacs grow
where the sun comes a-peepin'
into where I'm sleepin'
and the song bird says "hello" ... hello

I wanna wander through the wildwoods
where the fragrant breezes blow
and drift back
to New Hampshire
where the purple lilacs grow.
