Verse
I once had a gown it was al-most new, oh, the dain-ti-est
thing, it was sweet a-lice blue; with lit-tle for-get-me-nots
placed here and there, when i had it on, i walked on the air,
and it wore, and it wore, and it wore, till it went and it
was-n't no more.
Chorus
In my sweet lit-tle a-lice blue gown,.......
when i first wan-dered down in to town,.........
i was both proud and shy, as i felt ev'-ry eye, but in ev'-ry shop
win-dow
i'd primp, pass-ing by;
then in man-ner of fash-ion i'd frown............
and the world seem'd to smile all a-round,.........
till it wilt-ed i wore it, i'll al-ways a-dore it, my sweet lit-tle
a-lice blue gown
