Golden Slippers

1. My golden slippers are laid away cause I
   don't 'spect to wear 'em till my wedding day
   and the long grey coat that I love so well I will
   wear up in the chariot in the morning time.
   And the long white robe that I bought last June
   I'm gonna get it changed cause it fits too soon,
   and the old grey mare that I used to drive
   I'll hitch him to the chariot in the morning time.
ch: Oh, them golden slippers, oh them golden slippers,
      them golden slippers I'm going to wear, cause they look so neat.
      Oh, them golden slippers, oh them golden slippers,
      them golden slippers I'm going to wear to cross that golden street.
2. The old banjo hanging on the wall
   ain't been tuned since way last fall,
   but the folks all say that we'll have a good time when we
   ride up in the chariot in the morning time.
   And there's Brother Ben and Sister Luce,
   they'll telegraph the news to Uncle 'Baccy Juice,
   and what a great camp meeting there'll be that day
   when we ride up in the chariot in the morning time.
3. So it's goodbye children, I have to go
   where the rain don't fall and the wind don't blow
   and your Ulster coats why you will not need when you
   ride up in the chariot in the morning time.
   But your golden slippers must be nice and clean and your
   age must be just sweet sixteen.
   Your white kid gloves you will have to wear when you
   ride up in the chariot in the morning time.
