In my sweet little Alice blue gown,

-4   5  -5    7   7    7   -7 7  -6
When I first wandered down into town,

7 -6  -7   -8    -7   6
I was both proud and shy

-7 6  -6  7 -6   5
As I felt ev'ry eye.

 6  -6  6 -5  -5  -5 -7
But in ev'ry shop window

-6  -6    -8 -7   6
I'd primp passing by.

 4   -4   5  7  -6 -7  6    -6    5
Then in  manner of fashion, I'd frown

-4   5   -5      6   -6  -7   -6   6  8
And the world seemed to smile all around.

 8  8  -8 8   -8  -6  -7
Til it wilted, I wore it

-8   -7 7    6 5  -7
I'll always adore it,

-6  -5    6  6  -7 7   -8   7
My sweet little Alice blue gown.

(Not quite a love song, but lovely on the harp.)
