Golden Slippers lyrics
Oh, my golden slippers are laid away Cause I don't spect to were'em till my wedding day And my long tall coat that I love so well I will wear up in the chariot in the morn And my long white robe that I bought last June I'm gonna get changed cause it fits too soon And the old grey horse that I used to drive I will hitch him to the chariot in the morn Oh, them golden slippers Oh, them golden slippers Golden slippers I'm gonna wear Because they look so near Oh, them golden slippers Oh, them golden slippers Golden slippers I'm a gonna wear To walk the golden street Oh, my ol' banjo hangs on the wall Cause it ain't been turned since way last fall But the folks all say we'll have a good time When we ride up in the chariot in the morn There's old Brother Ben and his sister Luce They will telegraph the news to Uncle Bacco Juice What a great camp meeting there will be that day When we ride up in the chariot in the morn * Refrain So, its goodbye, children, I will have to go, Where the rain don't fall and the wind don't blow And your ulster coast, why, you will not need When you ride up in the chariot in the morn But your golden slippers must be nice and clean And your age must be just sweet sixteen And your white kid gloves you will have to wear When you ride up in the chariot in the morn * Refrain
