Way down in the county Kerry
In a place they call Tralee
A fine old couple
They lived there
The Kate and Pat Magee
They were going to give a party
On their Golden Jubilee
And Kate says she to Pat Magee
Come and listen here to me
Put on your old knee-britches
And your coat of emerald green
Take off that hat me darlin' Pat
Put on your old caibin
For today's our Golden Wedding
And I'll want them all to know
How we looked when we were wed
Fifty years ago
Oh well do I remember
When first I was your bride
In the little chapel on the hill
Where we stood side by side
Your hair was like a raven's wing
Now it's turning grey
Come over here old sweetheart dear
Hear what I've to say
Put on your old knee-britches
And your coat of emerald green
Take off that hat me darlin' Pat
Put on your old caibin
For today's our Golden Wedding
And I'll want you all to know
How we looked when we were wed
Fifty years ago
Oh well do I remember
How we danced on the village green
You held me in your arms dear Pat
And called me your cailin'
Good friends we've had many
Of troubles we've had few
Come over here old sweetheart dear
And here's what you must do
Put on your old knee-britches
And your coat of emerald green
Take off that hat me darlin' Pat
Put on your old caibin
For today's our Golden Wedding
And I'll want you all to know
How we looked when we were wed
Fifty years ago
How we looked when we were wed
Fifty years ago
