CThere was an Amish wedding yesteFrday to our deGlight
CEvery Dutchman in the county was thFere with an appGetite
CWe don’t all get along so good and yFet we reGunite
GWhenever we’re invited to a weddCing.
CIt was the bishop’s daughter and the haFrness maker’s sGon
CEvery district was invited, clear Fup to highway oGne,
CThe house and barn was full of folks and soFme were still to coGme
GAnd the preacher started preaching at 8C:30
[Chorus]
CThere was Abe Yoder and JoFe Yoder and BGen Yoder and JoChn Yoder and Amos Yoder and EFli
Yoder and LeGvi Yoder – he was there tCoo.
[Verse Two:]
CWell the preacher preached till half past nine and thFen he took a seGat
CThe next one hemmed and hawed and coughed and stFared down at his feGet
CHe finally got em married and thFen he said let’s eGat
GBecause there’s nothing like an Amish wedding dinCner.
CThere was chicken and potatoes and green beFans and wedding stGeak
CAnd beets and cheese and pickles apple pFie and chocolate caGke
CAnd ice cream coffee tea and juice enoFugh to fill a laGke

CAnd everyone went silent as the plaFtters went aroGund
GThere was no sound except for people chewiCng.
CI sat next to Eli miller, now thFere’s a tough old biGrd,
CWe sat and chewed our dinner and diFdn’t say a woGrd
CCause every thing we have to say wFe’ve already heaGrd
GSo what’s the use of pointless conCversation?
[Chorus]
CThere was Abe Miller and JFoe Miller and BGen Miller and JoChn Miller and Amos Miller and EFli

CAnd Bishop Miller laughed so hard I thFought he had a stGroke
GAnd he leaked some tapioca out his nostrCil.
CThe older men began to sing and paFssed around the boGoks.
CThe women washed the dishes in the kiFtchen with the cGooks

[Verse One]

C F G

There was an Amish wedding yesterday to our delight

C F G

Every Dutchman in the county was there with an appetite

C F G

We don’t all get along so good and yet we reunite

G C

Whenever we’re invited to a wedding.

C F G

It was the bishop’s daughter and the harness maker’s son

C F G

Every district was invited, clear up to highway one,

C F G

The house and barn was full of folks and some were still to come

G C

And the preacher started preaching at 8:30

[Chorus]

C F G C F

There was Abe Yoder and Joe Yoder and Ben Yoder and John Yoder and Amos Yoder and Eli

G C

Yoder and Levi Yoder – he was there too.

[Verse Two:]

C F G

Well the preacher preached till half past nine and then he took a seat

C F G

The next one hemmed and hawed and coughed and stared down at his feet

C F G

He finally got em married and then he said let’s eat

G C

Because there’s nothing like an Amish wedding dinner.

C F G

There was chicken and potatoes and green beans and wedding steak

C F G

And beets and cheese and pickles apple pie and chocolate cake

C F G

And ice cream coffee tea and juice enough to fill a lake

G C

and this was just the wedding meals first helping

[Chorus]

There was… (do you wanna know who was there?)

C F G C F

Abe Troyer and Joe Troyer and Ben Troyer and John Troyer and Amos Troyer and Eli Troyer

G C

and Levi Yoder – He was there too.

[Verse Three:]

C F G

And then came meatballs made of pork and beef lightly browned

C F G

And bowls of mashed potatoes about a hundred pounds

C F G

And everyone went silent as the platters went around

G C

There was no sound except for people chewing.

C F G

I sat next to Eli miller, now there’s a tough old bird,

C F G

We sat and chewed our dinner and didn’t say a word

C F G

Cause every thing we have to say we’ve already heard

G C

So what’s the use of pointless conversation?

[Chorus]

C F G C F

There was Abe Miller and Joe Miller and Ben Miller and John Miller and Amos Miller and Eli

G G C

N.C.

Miller and Levi Miller – Was he there? Yeah, he was there too.

[Verse Four]

C F G

Joe raised his hand for silence and then he told a joke

C F G

About an Amish preacher didn’t think before he spoke.

C F G

And Bishop Miller laughed so hard I thought he had a stroke

G C

And he leaked some tapioca out his nostril.

C F G

The older men began to sing and passed around the books.

C F G

The women washed the dishes in the kitchen with the cooks

C F G

The boys all watched the girls and they pretended not to look

G C

Cause they might just have themselves a date for supper

[Outro]

C F C G

Then late that night we all went out and hitched up our buggies

C F G C

And came back to tell the girls we’re ready to go home.

C F G

We said goodbye in the hallway we said goodbye in the stairs.

C F G

We said goodbye in the barnyard in the cold November air.

C F G

We leaned against our buggy wheels and said goodbye from there

G C

And we headed home from one great Amish wedding.

C F C G C

There were Yoders and Troyers and Hostetlers and Herschbergers and Schwartzentrubers and

F G C

Weavers and Millers were there too.

C F C G C

There were Beachys and Bylers and Bontragers and Burkholders and Keims and Erbs and

F G

Chupps and Frys [spoken] and well, I believe you was there too.
