First Line	Verse: I once had a gown; Chorus: In my sweet little Alice blue gown
Lyrics	VERSE 1: I once had a gown it was almost new, Oh, the daintiest thing, it was sweet Alice Blue; With little forget-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 wasn't no more. CHORUS: In my sweet little Alice Blue Gown, When I first wandered down in to 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 seemed to smile all around, Till it wilted I wore it, I'll always adore it, My sweet little Alice Blue Gown. VERSE 2: 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.
