The Sheath Gown In Darktown 1908

Miss Belladonna Sophie Brown
has been to gay Paree,
A ladies maid,
a first class job,
in a first class family,
The lady that she worked for
gave her all her cast off clothes,
That's why Darktown is all upset
where e'er Miss Bella goes.

Oh there's trouble down
in old Darktown,
Since Bella's come
with the new Sheath gown,
imported walk and smile,
and all that foreign style,
and all the girls are badly hurt
when they watch her flirt
that seemore skirt
Oh the sheath gown
has caught Darktown,
and will hold it for a while.

Oh there's trouble down
in old Darktown,
Since Bella's come
with the new Sheath gown,
imported walk and smile,
and all that foreign style,
and all the girls are badly hurt
when they watch her flirt
that seemore skirt
Oh the sheath gown
has caught Darktown,
and will hold it for a while.

Miss Bella's got
'most all the fellows
kneeling at her feet,
And all the prim
and proper damsels
in a full retreat,
But there are some well formed ones
who are saying with a wink,
"Of course it's simply shocking
but it's stunning don't you see.

Oh there's trouble down
in old Darktown,
Since Bella's come
with the new Sheath gown,
imported walk and smile,
and all that foreign style,
and all the girls are badly hurt
when they watch her flirt
that seemore skirt
Oh the sheath gown
has caught Darktown,
and will hold it for a while.

Oh there's trouble down
in old Darktown,
Since Bella's come
with the new Sheath gown,
imported walk and smile,
and all that foreign style,
and all the girls are badly hurt
when they watch her flirt
that seemore skirt
Oh the sheath gown
has caught Darktown,
and will hold it for a while.
