Oh dem Golden Slippers. Song & Chorus
A minstrel show song set in the style of a spiritual , the song is apparently a parody of the spiritual " Golden Slippers ", popularized after the American Civil War by the Fisk Jubilee Singers. The song's first stanza tells of the protagonist setting aside such fine clothes as golden slippers, a long-tailed coat and a white robe for a chariot ride in the morning presumably to Heaven. This leads to the refrain: Oh, dem golden slippers!
The second stanza describes the protagonist meeting up with other family members after his chariot ride. Image Text search this item. There is no text for this item. Object Description Title Oh, dem golden slippers! Louis ; words and music by Jas. Composer Bland, James A.
