Oh! Dem Golden Slippers |
James A. Bland, 1879
Oh, my golden slippers are laid away, 'Cause I don't 'spect to wear 'em till my wedding day And my long tail 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. Chorus: |: Oh, them golden slippers, :| Golden slippers I'm gonna wear, Because they look so neat. |: Oh, them golden slippers, :| Golden slippers I'm a- gonna wear To walk the golden street. | 2. Oh, my ol' banjo hangs on the wall, 'Cause it ain't been tuned 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 an' his sister Luce, They will telegraph the news to Uncle Bacco Juice What a great camp meetin' there will be that day When we ride up in the chariot in the morn. Chorus:
3. So, it's good-bye, children, I will have to go, |
