Charlie Rich - Golden slipper rose

^CNow mama wore those ^Fskin tight dresses ^Call the time ^G7She worked at the Golden Slipper Cafe every ^Cnight

^FBut mama loved me and sister and ^Cwe both loved her so ^FBut everyone called ^Cmama ^G7Golden Slipper ^CRose

Now mama drank and ^Fmama laughed and ^Cdanced all night ^G7She made us go to school both taught us wrong from ^Cright

^FAnd tucked us in with a kiss each night and ^Cloved and watched us grow ^FStill everyone called ^Cmama ^G7Golden Slipper ^CRose

^G7Looked up to by some and looked ^Fdown on by ^Cmany ^FLoved by just a ^Cfew so her life ^G7goes

^FStill everyone called ^Cmama ^G7Golden Slipper ^CRose

Now the preacher reads a ^Fline that fits ^Cmama like a glove ^G7He said a woman like this woman was ^Cborn to be loved

^FAnd as they close the lid on mama's life and the ^Ctown looks down its nose ^FHeaven waits to ^Cwelcome home ^G7Golden Slipper ^CRose

^FHeaven waits to ^Cwelcome home ^G7Golden Slipper ^CRose
