1
I once had a gown, it was almost new
2
Oh, the daintiest thing, it was sweet Alice blue
3
With little forget-me-nots placed here and there
4
When I had it on, I walked on the air
5
And it wore, and it wore, and it wore
6
'Til it went, and it wasn't no more
7
In my sweet little Alice blue gown
8
When I first wandered down into town
9
I was both proud and shy, as I felt every eye
10
And in every shop window I primped passing by
11
Then in manner of fashion, I'd frown
12
And the world seemed to smile all around
13
'Til it wilted, I wore it, I'll always adore it
14
My sweet little Alice blue gown
15
The little silk worms that made silk for that gown
16
Just made that much silk and then crawled in the ground
17
For there never was anything like it before
18
And I don't dare to hope there will be any more
19
But it's gone, 'cause it just had to be
20
Still it wears in my memory
21
In my sweet little Alice blue gown
22
When I first wandered down into town
23
I was both proud and so shy, as I felt every eye
24
And in every shop window I primped passing by
25
Then in manner of fashion, I'd frown
26
And the world seemed to smile all around
27
So it wouldn't be proper if made of silk were another
28
My sweet little Alice blue gown
