Golden Slipper Rose chords by Charlie Rich

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
