Alice Gray - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
ALICE GRAY. 
She's all my fancy painted her, She's lovely, she's divine; But her heart it is another's, She never can be mine. Yet lov'd I as man never lov'd, A love without decay; Oh! my heart, my heart is breaking, For the love of Alice Gray; Oh! my heart, my heart is breaking, For the love of Alice Gray. 
Her dark brown hair is braided o'er A brow of spotless white; Her soft blue eye now languishes, Now flashes with delight. The hair is braided not for me, The eye is turned away; Yet my heart, my heart is breaking, For the love of Alice Gray; Yet my heart, my heart is breaking, For "the love of Alice Gray. 
I've sunk beneath the Summer's sun, And trembled in the blast; But my pilgrimage is nearly done, The weary conflict past. And when the green sod wraps my grave, May pity haply say: "Oh! his heart, his heart is broken, For the love of Alice Gray; " "Oh! his heart, his heart is broken, For the love of Alice Gray."
