i got this from Mudcat
(http://www.mudcat.org/folksearch.cfm)

My guess is it's probably just one of those turn of the century
songs that was popular and not from any show. Carl Stalling was
a musical genius that must have known EVERY popular song that ever
had sheet music printed. It would be great to see a list of EVERY song
that he threw into a cartoon.

(one of my fave Bugs Bunny cartoons, too!)

PUT ON YOUR OLD GREY BONNET
(Percy Wenrich and Stanley Murphy)
On the old farm house veranda
There sat Silas and Miranda
Thinking of the days gone by
Said he, "Dearie don't be weary
You were always bright and cheery
But a tear, dear, dims your eye."
Said she, they're tears of gladness
Silas, they're not tears of sadness;
It is fifty years today since we were wed."
Then the old man's dim eyes brighten'd
And his stern old heart it lighten'd
As he turned to her and said:

"Put on your old grey bonnet
With the blue ribbon on it
While I hitch old Dobbin to the shay
Through the fields of clover
On the way to Dover
On our Golden Wedding Day."

It was in the same old bonnet
With the same blue ribbon on it
In the old shay by his side,
That he drove her up to Dover
Thro' the same old fields of clover
To become his happy bride.
The birds were sweetly singing
And the same old bells were ringing
As they passed the quaint old church where they were wed
And that night when stars were gleaming
The old couple law a-dreaming
Dreaming of the words he said.

Put on Your Old Grey Bonnet

Put on your old grey bonnet
With the blue ribbon on it

And I'll hitch old Dobbin to the shay

Through the fields of clover

We'll drive up to Dover
On our golden wedding day

I think the actual title is "Golden Wedding Day."
Don't know where it comes from.
