Lyrics
(Melody by Harry Tierney, Lyrics by Joseph McCarthy)
In my sweet little Alice Blue Gown
When I first wandered down in to town,
I was both proud and shy as I felt every eye,
But in every 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.
