On an old farm house veranda there sat Silas and Marinda
Dreamin' of the days gone by
He said deary don't be weary, you're always bright and cheery
Now a tear did dim your eye.

He said they're not tears of sadness Silas they are tears of gladness
It was fifty years ago the day we wed
Then the old man's dim eyes brighten and his old heart it lighten
As he turned to her and said.

Put on your old grey bonnet with all the blue ribbons on it
While I hitch all dovin' to the shade
Through those fields of clover you'll ride up to Dover
On our golden wedding day.

Put on your old grey bonnet with all the blue ribbons on it
While I hitch all dovin' to the shade
Through those fields of clover you'll ride up to Dover
On our golden wedding day.

On our golden wedding day...
