Verse:

Oh, my golden slippers are alaid away,  'Cause I will not wear 'em till my wedding day,

And my long tail coat that I loved so well,  I will wear that certain morn.

And my long white robe that I bought last June,  I'm a gonna get it changed 'cause it fits too soon,

And the old grey horse that I used to drive,  I will hitch up to the chariot in the morn.

 

Chorus:

Oh! them golden slippers,  Oh! them golden slippers,
Golden slippers I will wear because they look so neat .
Oh! them golden slippers,  Oh! them golden slippers,
Golden slippers I will wear to walk the golden street!
