Lyrics
Happiness comes to everybody
We don’t know how or when
If I could stray to that land of yesterday
I’d find my happiness again
Refrain
When I was only a gingham girl
And I dressed in a plain gingham gown
I was so happy in that country town
And on my face you’d never see a frown
I had a sweetheart who carved my name
On that old apple tree down the lane
That was long ago, still I confess
I’d give whatever I possess
If I could wear a gingham dress
And be a gingham girl once more
