W:I once had a gown, it was almost new
W:Oh, the daintiest thing, it was sweet Alice blue
W:With little forget-me-nots placed here and there
W:When I had it on, I walked on the air
W:And it wore, and it wore, and it wore
W:'Til it went, and it wasn't no more
W:
W:In my sweet little Alice blue gown
W:When I first wandered down into town
W:I was both proud and shy, as I felt every eye
W:And in every shop window I primped passing by
W:Then in manner of fashion, I'd frown
W:And the world seemed to smile all around
W:'Til it wilted, I wore it, I'll always adore it
W:My sweet little Alice blue gown
W:
W:The little silk worms that made silk for that gown
W:Just made that much silk and then crawled in the ground
W:For there never was anything like it before
W:And I don't dare to hope there will be any more
W:But it's gone, 'cause it just had to be
W:Still it wears in my memory
W:
W:In my sweet little Alice blue gown
W:When I first wandered down into town
W:I was both proud and so shy, as I felt every eye
W:And in every shop window I primped passing by
W:Then in manner of fashion, I'd frown
W:And the world seemed to smile all around
W:So it wouldn't be proper if made of silk were another
W:My sweet little Alice blue gown.
