Sweet Alice chords and lyrics - FRANK CRUMIT

Lời & hợp âm

[Verse 1]
[D]Jus[A]t a slip of a g[D]irl,
[A]with a bit of a curl,
she whispers sweet words in [D]my ear.
How [A]it happened, I [D]know not,
my [A]heart's in a bow knot,
I've been asking her [E]year after [A]year.
Her [D]first name is [A]Alice,
she lives down in Dallas,
she said she would marry me.
So I'll build a cot for sweet Alice,
a dear little place by the [D]sea.
It will seem like a palace to [Bb]me and my [A]Alice,
no matter how small it may be.
And [D]no one would [A]bear any malice
if they could get one look at [F#]Alice.
[A]And [G]I know my [D]Alice
won't hate to leave [A]Dallas
to [D]live in my [A]palace with [D]me.[A]
When she [D]answered me [A]yes,
you never can guess what
happened right here in my [D]chest.
My heart started jumping and
bumping and thumping,
I thought it would [A]burst from my vest.
My [D]heart's in a whirl or the [A]slip of a girl,
for she [D]said she would
[A]marry me.
Can you picture me and my Alice
at a home in a place by the [D]sea?
I know down in Dallas
they'll [A]hate to lose [D]Alice,
but just think how [A]happy we'll be.
On [D]each of my [A]knees there's a callus,
they were caused by proposing to [F#]Alice.
[A]Never was [G]such a [A]palace,
[D]my Alice,
no galleon's as fit for a [A]palace
[D]as here.[A][D]
[G][D][A][D][A]
Now maybe they'll
drink from my chalice,
good luck to me and [F#]to my Alice,
[A]for under my [G]gal[D]lows
my heart beats for [A]Dallas,
who gave [D]my sweet [A]Alice [D]to me.[A]
[D][A]
