Subject: Styles that Eve Wore in the Garden of Eden (Tune?)
STYLES
(Mrs Kenneth Larson)

There are styles that show the ankles
There are styles that show the knee;
There are styles that make the old me wonder
Just how much the women want the men to see;
There are styles which have a naughty meaning,
Which the eyes of men alone can see;
But the styles that Eve wore in the garden
Are the ones that appeal to me.


From Songs and Ballads: Folk Material and Old Favorites, Collected by [James] Kenneth Larson in McCammon, Idaho. Undated [c1933], typescript. Tune not indicated.
