ALICE IN THE BLUEGRASS
(Written by Molly Tuttle & Ketch Secor)

Come gather round folks and a story I’ll tell
About a girl who tripped through the bottom of the well
Woke up in a dream with a curious habit
Chasing a little white rabbit
Well she landed with a thud by the field mouse door
Said this don’t look like Kentucky anymore
Knocked three times and her mind swung open
Alice had awoken

So she danced all night with a bottle in her hand
Lost in a backwoods wonderland
Toadstool fiddle and a cigarette bow
Where’d you come from Alice why’d you go

Then the old snapping turtle peeked out of his shell
Said little girl you don’t look too well
Take a little swig and a little bitty swaller
You’ll feel three times smaller
Then the glow worm sittin’ on a caterpillar tractor
Gave her a smoke of some strange tobacco
The doodle bug said girl you can’t go back there
You’ll be ours forever after

So she danced all night with a bottle in her hand
Lost in a backwoods wonderland
Toadstool fiddle and a cigarette bow
Where’d you come from Alice why’d you go

Little piece of cornbread swallow it down
’Til you’re ten feet high above the ground
All the king’s horses mules and men
Can’t bring little Alice back down again

Now it’s sassafras tea with an old mad hatter
When up through the well grew a jack vine ladder
She climbed like the devil when the devil came after
He was fast but she was faster

Now she’s sitting on the porch with her ma and pa
Trying to make sense of the things she saw
She can’t wait to wander back to wonderland
Go trippin’ through the bluegrass once again

And dance all night with a bottle in her hand
Lost in a backwoods wonderland
Toadstool fiddle and a cigarette bow
Where’d you come from Alice why’d you go

Alice in the bluegrass
Little Alice in the bluegrass
Alice in the bluegrass
