VERSE 01: I once had a gown it was almost new,/Oh, the daintiest thing, it was sweet Alice Blue,/With little forgetmenots placed here and there,/When I had it on, I waked on the air,/And it wore, and it wore, and it wore,/Till it went and it wasn’t no more. CHORUS: In my sweet little Alice Blue Gown,/When I first wandered down into town,/I was both proud and shy,/As I felt ev’ry eye,/But in ev’ry shop window I’d primp, passing by/Then in manner of fashion I’d frown./And the world seem’d to smile all around,/Till it wilted I wore it,/I’ll always adore it,/My sweet little Alice Blue Gown. VERSE 02: The little silkworms that made silk for that gown,/Just made that much silk and then crawled in the ground,/For there never was anything like it before,/And I don’t dare to hope there will be anymore,/But it’s gone ‘cause it just had to be,/Still it wears in my memory. | |
