The Golden Jubilee
Way down in the County Kerry
In a place they call Tralee
A fine old couple they lived there
Named Kate and Pat McGee
They were going to give a caile
On their golden jubilee
Said Kate to Pat come over here
And listen now to me
Ah put on your oul knee britches
And your coat of emerald green
Take off your hat me darlin' Pat
Put on your old colleen
For today's our golden wedding
And I want them all to know
How we looked when we were wed, fifty years ago
Turnaround
Now well do I remember
When we danced on the village green
You held me in your arms dear Pat
And called me your Colleen
Your hair was like a raven's wing
But now it's turned to grey
Ah come over here me sweetheart dear
And this to you I'll say
Chorus
