Oh my golden slippers that I laid away
Cause I don't expect to wear them
till my wedding day
My long tail coat that I lost so well
I'll be wearing the child in the morning
And my long white bow that
I bought last June
Gonna get changed,
cause it's mid -spring soon
The old bale horse that I used to drive
I will hitch him to the chariot in the morning
My brother is old, them golden slippers
Old, them golden slippers
Golden slippers I'm going to wear
Because they look so neat
My brother is old, them golden slippers
Oh, them golden slippers,
golden slippers
I'm going to wear
Walk down the golden
street
Well, my old banjo hangs on the wall
Ain't been tuned since way last fall
The folks all say we'll have a good time
When we ride up in the chariot
in the mornin'
There's a brother with Ben
and a sister loose
They will telegraph the news
to Uncle Bacchus
What a great camp meeting
there will be that day
When we ride up in the chariot
in the mornin'
My brother is oh, them golden slippers
Oh, them golden slippers
Golden slippers I'm going to wear
Because they look so neat
My brother is oh, them golden slippers
Oh, them golden slippers
Golden slippers I'm going to wear
Walk down the golden street
So it's goodbye children,
I will have to go
Where the rain don't boil,
the wind don't blow
You're east of coast
where you will not need rain
You'll ride up in a chariot in the morning
But your golden slippers
must be nice and clean
Your age must be just sweet sixteen
And your white kid gloves
you will not need
When you ride up in the
chad in the morning
Oh, them golden slippers
Oh, them golden slippers
Golden slippers I'm going to wear
Because they look so neat
Oh, them golden slippers,
golden slippers
I'm going to wear,
walk down the golden street.
