Confused of Altrincham. |

I'm not sure that Dark Girl Dressed in Blue is the same tune. What I heard recently was not a tune similar to Over the Waterfall. |

03 Apr 02 - 10:51 PM (#682478) Subject: Lyr Add: THE LITTLE GIRL DRESSED IN BLUE From: Louie Roy THE LITTLE GIRL DRESSED IN BLUE 1. I fell in love with a pretty little girl. Her name I do not know. I meet her in the evening wherever I may go. She wears a white lace handkerchief. It's marked with "T" and "U". I know her when I see her, the little girl dressed in blue. CHORUS: O, she almost drives me crazy and I don't know what I'll do If I don't find that pretty little girl that I saw dressed in blue. She almost drives me crazy and I don't know what I'll do If I don't find that pretty little girl that I saw dressed in blue. 2. I met her on the street one day. She looked at me so shy, And when the horses saw her, they both began to fly. They ripped and rared and snorted and down the street they flew Until I passed that pretty little girl, that little girl dressed in blue. 3. If I can find out where she lives and where she does belong, I'll tell to her my story, the burden of my song, And if I cannot find her, my heart will break in two And I will die and bid farewell to the little girl dressed in blue. [Hope this is the tune you are looking for and this is the way I learned it back in the 1930s, and we had this on a 78 and it was sung by F. N. Vinard in 1932. Louie Roy] |
