    G                                                  C
Way down in the county Kerry, in a place they call Tralee

                    G                 D              D7
A grand old couple they lived there, Kate and Pat Magee.

           G                              C
They were going to have a party on their Golden Jubilee

     G                              D              G
Now Kate she turned to Pat and said listen here to me.

     G                                                   C
"Put on your old knee-britches and your coat of emerald green,

                                      G               D
Take off that hat me darlin' Pat, put on your old caipin.

       G                                             C  
For today's our Golden wedding and I want you all to know,

     G                  C            G      D     G
Just how we looked when we were wed, fifty years ago".

      G                                                 C
It's well that I remember, how we danced on the village green,

                                        D                  D7
You held me in your arms, dear Pat, and called me your cailin.

     G                                                 C
Your hair was like a raven's wing but now it's turning grey,

      D            D7                   D                G
Come over here me sweetheart dear, and listen to what I say.

     G                                                   C
"Put on your old knee-britches and your coat of emerald green,

                                      G               D
Take off that hat me darlin' Pat, put on your old caipin.

       G                                             C  
For today's our Golden wedding and I want you all to know,

     G                  C            G      D     G
Just how we looked when we were wed, fifty years ago".

    G                                         C
Oh how I do I remember, when first I was you bride,

                                        G                 D                          
In the little chapel on the hill, where we stood side by side.

   G                                                   C
Of good friends we've had many, of troubles we've had few,

                    G                         D            G
Come over here me sweetheart dear, and here's what we must do.

     G                                                   C
"Put on your old knee-britches and your coat of emerald green,

                                      G               D
Take off that hat me darlin' Pat, put on your old caipin.

       G                                             C
