Wedding day
Wedding day
Golden wedding day
On the old farm-house Viranda
There sat Silas and Miranda
Thinking of the days gone by
Said he "dearie don't be weary,
You were always bright and cheery
But the tear, dear, dims your eye"
Said she "they're tears of gladness, Silas,
They're not tears of sadness
It is fifty years today since we were wed"
Then the old man's dim eyes brightened
And his stern old heart, it lightened
As he turn'd to her and said
Put on your old grey bonnet
With the blue ribbon on it
While I hitch old Dobbin to the shay
And through the fields of clover
We'll drive to Dover
On our golden wedding day
Golden wedding day
It was in the same old bonnet
With the same blue ribbon on it
In the old shay by his side
That he drove her up to Dover
Through the same old fields of clover
To become his happy bride
The birds were sweetly singing
And the same old bells were ringing
As they pass'd the quaint old church where they were wed
And that night when stars were gleaming
The old couple lay a-dreaming
Dreaming of the words he said
Put on your old grey bonnet
With the blue ribbon on it
While I hitch old Dobbin to the shay
And through the fields of clover
We'll drive up to Dover
On our golden wedding day
Put on your old grey bonnet
With the blue ribbon on it
While I hitch old Dobbin to the shay
And through the fields of clover
We'll drive up to Dover
On our golden wedding day (golden wedding day)
