GOLDEN SLIPPERS
Public Domain (Source: Dyke’s Magic City Trio)

Them golden slippers are laid away,
‘Cause I ain’t a’ gonna wear ’em till my wedding day
My long tail coat that I used to wear,
When I ride out the chariot in the morning.

Chorus:

And oh, them golden slippers, ah, them golden slippers,
Golden slippers I’m going to wear, because they look so neat.
Oh, them golden slippers, oh, them golden slippers,
Golden slippers I’m going to wear to walk them golden streets.

Now old uncle Ben and sister Lou
Sent telegram news to Uncle Bacco Juice
What a big camp meeting there’ll be that day
When I ride out the chariot in the morning
