Put On Your Old Grey Bonnet Lyrics - Jimmy Dean

On an old far 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 

She 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 the blue ribbons on it 

While I hitch old Dobbin to the shay 

Through those fields of clover you'll ride up to Dover on our golden wedding day 

Put on your old grey bonnet... 

Put on your old grey bonnet... 

On our golden wedding day
