Oh, Dem Golden Slippers lyrics

Oh, my golden slippers am alaid away

Kase I don't spect to wear 'em till my weddin' 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 gwine to get changed cause it fits too soon

And de old grey horse dat I used to drive

I will hitch him to the chariot in the morn

Oh, dem golden slippers, oh, dem golden slippers

Golden slippers I'se gwine to wear bekase dey look so neat

Oh, dem golden slippers, oh, dem golden slippers

Golden slippers I'se gwine to wear to walk de golden street

Oh, my ol' banjo hangs on de wall

Kase it ain't been tuned since way last fall

But de darkies all say we'll hab a good time

When we ride up in the chariot in de morn

There's old Brother Ben and his sister Luce

Dey will telegraph the news to Uncle Bacco Juce

What a great camp meetin' dere will be dat day

When we ride up in the chariot in de morn

Oh, dem golden slippers, oh, dem golden slippers

Golden slippers I'se gwine to wear bekase dey look so neat

Oh, dem golden slippers, oh, dem golden slippers

Golden slippers I'se gwine to wear to walk de golden street

So, it's goodbye, children, I will have to go

Whar the rain don't fall and de wind don't blow

And your ulster coat, why, you will not need

When you ride up in the chariot in de morn

But de golden slippers must be neat and clean

And yer age must be just sweet sixteen

And yer white kid gloves yer will have to wear

When you ride up in the chariot in de morn

Oh, dem golden slippers, oh, dem golden slippers

Golden slippers I'se gwine to wear bekase dey look so neat

Oh, dem golden slippers, oh, dem golden slippers

Golden slippers I'se gwine to wear to walk de golden street

Oh, dem golden slippers, oh, dem golden slippers

Golden slippers I'se gwine to wear bekase dey look so neat

Oh, dem golden slippers, oh, dem golden slippers

Golden slippers I'se gwine to wear to walk de golden street
