C                   F                  C 
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
