On an old farm house veranda there sat Silas and Miranda
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 lightens
As he turned to her and said
Put on your old grey bonnet with all 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
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 lightens
As he turned to her and said
Put on your old grey bonnet with all 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

There was the most peculiar kid in our town
Was always late for school
He never learned to tell a verb from a noun and always broke the rules
Though they looked upon him as a clown
Yet he wasn't such a fool
Puddin' Head Jones was fat and funny, dumber than sticks and stones
That is just why the kids all called him: Wooden Head Puddin' Head Jones
He couldn't spell Constantinople
Didn't know beans from bones
Pencils and books were never made for Wooden Head Puddin' Head Jones.
Teacher told his mother she would take him right in hand and teach him a thing or two
Like his older brother he began to understand, he learned everything she ever knew.
All of the kids to teacher carried candy and ice cream cones but who do you think the teacher married?
Wooden Head Puddin' Head Jones.
