ch:| I / IV / | V / I / | (2X)My golden slippers are laid away
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.
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.
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.
