The Merry Wives Of Windsor - The Golden Jubliee
A fine old couple they lived there called Kate and Pat McGee
They were going to hold a party for the golden jubilee
Said Kate to Pat, "Come over here and listen here to me."
"Put on your only britches and your coat of kelly green
Take off your hat my darling Pat, put on your old caubeen
For today's our golden jubilee and I want the world to know
The wait was done when we've begun just fifty years ago."
"How well do I remember I danced on the village green
You held me in your arms dear Pat, you called me your colleen
Your hair was like a raven's wing but now it's turning gray
Come over here my sweetheart dear, and here's what I've to say
Put on your only britches and your coat of emerald green
Take off your hat my darling pat, put on your old caubeen
For today's our golden jubilee and we want the world to know
The wait 'twas done when we've begun just fifty years ago."
"How well do I remember when first I was your bride?
In the little chapel yonder there when we sat side by side
Our good things we had many, of troubles we had few
Come over here my sweetheart dear and here's what you must do
Put on your only britches and your coat of emerald green
Take off your hat my darling pat, put on your old caubeen
For today's our golden jubilee and I want you all to know
The wait 'twas done when we've begun just fifty years ago
The wait 'twas done when we've begun just fifty years ago."
