"Alice Blue Gown" lyrics

I once had a gown, it was almost new
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
'Til it went, and it was no more
My sweet little Alice blue gown

When I first wandered down into town
I was both proud and shy, as I felt every eye
But in every shop window I primped passing by
Then in manner of fashion, I'd frown
And the world seemed to smile all around

'Til it wilted, I wore it
I'll always adore it
My sweet little Alice blue gown
My sweet little Alice blue gown
