Alice in the Bluegrass Lyrics

[00:12.26] Come gather around folks for a story I'll tell
[00:14.57] About a girl who tripped through the bottom of a well
[00:19.08] Woke up in a dream with a curious habit
[00:22.23] Chasing a little white rabbit
[00:27.00] Well, she landed with a thump by the field mouse door
[00:29.43] Said "This don't look like Kentucky anymore"
[00:33.80] Knock three times and her mind swung open
[00:36.92] Alice had awoken
[00:41.73] So she danced all night with a bottle in her hand
[00:44.44] Lost in the backwoods Wonderland
[00:46.24] Toadstool fiddle and a cigarette bow
[00:48.31] Where'd you come from? Alice, why'd you go?
[00:56.36] Then old snapping turtle peaked out of his shell
[00:58.48] Said "Little girl, you don't look too well
[01:02.86] Take a little swig and a little bitty swallow
[01:06.09] You'll feel three times smaller"
[01:10.87] Then the glow-worm sitting on the caterpillar tractor
[01:13.46] Gave her a smoke, some strange tobacco
[01:17.38] The doodle bug said, "You can't go back there
[01:20.04] You'll be ours forever after"
[01:25.32] So she danced all night with a bottle in her hand
[01:27.92] Lost in the backwoods Wonderland
[01:30.08] Toadstool fiddle and a cigarette bow
[01:32.17] Where'd you come from? Alice, why'd you go?
[01:36.66]
[01:46.54] Little piece of cornbread, swallow it down
[01:50.66] 'Til you're ten feet high up above the ground
[01:55.25] All the king's horses, mules, and men
[01:58.54] Can't bring little Alice back down again
[02:04.27]
[03:08.00] Now it's sassafras tea with an old mad hatter
[03:12.36] Went up through the well, grew a jack-vine ladder
[03:16.61] She climbed like the devil, and the devil came after
[03:19.17] He was fast, but she was faster
[03:24.73] Now she's sitting on the porch with her maw and paw
[03:27.18] Tryna make sense of the things she saw
[03:29.21] Can't wait to wander back to Wonderland
[03:31.34] Go tripping through the bluegrass once again
[03:35.52] Danced all night with a bottle in her hand
[03:37.61] Lost in the backwoods Wonderland
[03:39.76] Toadstool fiddle and a cigarette bow
[03:41.86] Where'd you come from? Alice, why'd you go?
[03:45.25] Alice in the bluegrass
[03:48.71] Little Alice in the bluegrass
[03:53.17] Alice in the bluegrass
[03:58.12]
