I once had a gown, it was all so new
Oh, the daintiest thing, it was me that it flew
With little forget-me-nots, they here and there
When I had it on, I walked on the air
And it flew, and it flew, and it flew
'Til it swayed and it fluttered no more
In my sweet little Holliesville gown
When I first wandered down into town
I was so proud and shy as I felt every eye
Watch in every shop window I tripped passing by
Any manner of passerine found
And the world seemed to smile all around
'Til it quitted, I wore it
While always adorin'
My sweet little Holliesville gown
The little silk worms that lay still for that hour
Just made that much silk and then crawled in the ground
'Cause there never was anything like it before
And I don't care to hope there will be anymore
And it's gone 'cause it just had to be
'Til it swells in my memory
In my sweet little Holliesville gown
When I first wandered down into town
I was so proud and shy as I felt every eye
Watch in every shop window I tripped passing by
Any manner of passerine found
And the world seemed to smile all around
So it swelled up its butter
'Til it just swayed for the ground
My sweet little Holliesville gown
