Now mama wore those skin tight dresses all the time
G7 C
She worked at the Golden Slipper Cafe every night
F C
But mama loved me and sister and we both loved her so
F C G7 C
But everyone called mama Golden Slipper Rose
F C
Now mama drank and mama laughed and danced all night
G7 C
She made us go to school both taught us wrong from right
F C
And tucked us in with a kiss each night and loved and watched us grow
F C G7 C
Still everyone called mama Golden Slipper Rose

G7 F C
Looked up to by some and looked down on by many
F C G7
Loved by just a few so her life goes
F C G7 C
Still everyone called mama Golden Slipper Rose
F C
Now the preacher reads a line that fits mama like a glove
G7 C
He said a woman like this woman was born to be loved
F C
And as they close the lid on mama's life and the town looks down its nose
F C G7 C
Heaven waits to welcome home Golden Slipper Rose
F C G7 C
Heaven waits to welcome home Golden Slipper Rose
