Now mama wore those skin tight dresses all the time

She worked at the Golden Slipper Cafe every night

But mama loved me and sister and we both loved her so

But everyone called mama Golden Slipper Rose

Now mama drank and mama laughed and danced all night
G7

She made us go to school both taught us wrong from right
F

And tucked us in with a kiss each night and loved and watched us grow

Still everyone called mama Golden Slipper Rose
G7

Looked up to by some and looked down on by many

G7
Loved by just a few so her life goes

Still everyone called mama Golden Slipper Rose

Now the preacher reads a line that fits mama like a glove

He said a woman like this woman was born to be loved

And as they close the lid on mama’s life and the town looks down its nose
