When I was just a little boy, so high, a pretty 
                         F
little girl came dancing by.
    Eb                     Dm
She said, hello to me, and smiled so tenderly..
    Eb       F         Bb
and asked me what's my name.

CHORUS:
Bb           Eb                  Bb
And she wore petticoat white and summer sky blue.
    F                       Bb
The sweetest little thing I ever, ever knew.
Eb                  Bb                   F
Petticoat white and summer sky blue..the sweetest 
              Eb     Bb
little thing, I ever knew.

I never will forget the early years..the way we shared 
                     F
the laughter and the tears.
    Eb                 Bb        Dm7
And our first precious kiss..oh, how I clung to this..
Eb       F      Bb
when she moved away.

CHORUS:
Bb           Eb                  Bb
And she wore petticoat white and summer sky blue.
    F                       Bb
The sweetest little thing I ever, ever knew.
Eb                  Bb                   F
Petticoat white and summer sky blue..the sweetest

It will recall to me, our childhood memory..as she walks 
Gb       B
down the aisle.
