Verse



I ONCE HAD A GOWN IT WAS AL-MOST NEW, OH, THE DAIN-TI-EST

THING, IT WAS SWEET A-LICE BLUE; WITH LIT-TLE FOR-GET-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

WAS-N'T NO MORE.



Chorus



IN MY SWEET LIT-TLE A-LICE BLUE GOWN,.......

WHEN I FIRST WAN-DERED DOWN IN TO TOWN,.........

I WAS BOTH PROUD AND SHY, AS I FELT EV'-RY EYE, BUT IN EV'-RY SHOP

WIN-DOW

I'D PRIMP, PASS-ING BY;

THEN IN MAN-NER OF FASH-ION I'D FROWN............

AND THE WORLD SEEM'D TO SMILE ALL A-ROUND,.........

TILL IT WILT-ED I WORE IT, I'LL AL-WAYS A-DORE IT, MY SWEET LIT-TLE

A-LICE BLUE GOWN
