Little Alice

Dancing on the hill-tops,

Singing in the valleys,

Laughing with the echoes,

Merry little Alice.

Playing games with lambkins

In the flowering valleys,

Gathering pretty posies,

Helpful little Alice.

If her father's cottage

Turned into a palace,

And he owned the hill-tops

And the flowering valleys,

She'd be none the happier,

Happy little Alice.
