Put On Your Old Grey Bonnett was published and recorded for the first time in 1909. The song was written by Ragtime composer Percy Wenrich who had just moved to New York City around 1907 to pursue a music career in Tin Pan Alley. The song's lyrics were written by Stanley Murphy. Before moving to New York, Wenrich was a successful ragtime composer in Missouri and went to music school in Chicago, before moving to New York he had come to be known as "That Joplin Kid." Put On You Old Grey Bonnet became a major hit, it sold 2 million copies and became popular vaudeville standard. In 1929 the song was used for an installment of Fleischer's Screen Songs series, and the song was used by Fleischer again in the 1935 Color Classics short Musical Memories.

PUT ON YOUR OLD GREY BONNET
Put on your old gray bonnet with the blue ribbons on it
And we'll hitch all dovin' to the shade
Through those fields of clover
We'll go down to Dover on our golden wedding day
Old gray bonnet, ribbons on it
All dovin', shade
Fields of clover, down the Dover
Golden wedding day
Put on your old gray bonnet with the blue ribbons on it
Hitch all dovin' to the shade
Through those fields of clover
We gonna go down to Dover on our golden wedding day
Grey bonnet, ribbons on it
All dovin', shade
Fields of clover, down the Dover
Golden wedding day
Golden wedding day
Golden wedding day
Gonna go down on our golden wedding day
Put on your old gray bonnet with the blue ribbons on it
And we'll hitch all dovin' to the shade
Through those fields of clover
We'll go down to Dover on our golden wedding day
Old gray bonnet, ribbons on it
All dovin', shade
Fields of clover, down the Dover
Golden wedding day
Put on your old gray bonnet with the blue ribbons on it
Hitch all dovin' to the shade
Through those fields of clover
We gonna go down to Dover on our golden wedding day
Grey bonnet, ribbons on it
All dovin', shade
Fields of clover, down the Dover
Golden wedding day
Golden wedding day
Golden wedding day
Gonna go down on our golden wedding day
