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 .
