Alice Blue Gown

                                  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 walked on the air,

And it wore, and it wore, and it wore, till it went and it

Wasn't no more.



In my sweet little Alice blue gown

When I first wandered down in to town

I was both proud and shy, as I felt every eye, but in every shop

Window

I'd primp, passing by;



Then in manner of fashion I'd frown

And the world seemed to smile all around

Till it wilted I wore it, I'll always adore it, my sweet little

Alice blue gown
