Doris Akers - Golden Slippers

Doris adds her own lyrical twist to this catchy song from the 1800's.

There's a golden street up in a golden sky,
Where I'm gonna walk with Jesus in the by and by,
Got my golden slippers ready and I'm ready to go
To ride up in the chariot in the mornin'

When the Lord tells Gabriel to blow the horn
I'm gonna be ready just as sure as your born
Got my golden slippers waitin' and I'm waitin to go
To ride up in the chariot in the mornin'

Golden, golden slippers
Golden, golden slippers
My golden slippers I'm gonna wear, they feel good on my feet
Golden, golden slippers
Golden, golden slippers
My golden slippers I'm gonna wear, to walk on the golden streets

There's a heap of worry in the world today
The devil keeps a-nagging and he won't go away
But the Lord done told me that he won't be there
When we ride up in the chariot in the mornin'

Many folks are fightin' and they don't know why
But I know the reason and it's plain as pie
If they don't know Jesus then they won't be there
When we ride up in the chariot in the mornin'

She was something else! Nice cover by her.

Doris reminds me of Jimmy Swaggart in

the way he's famous for changing words

of songs as he goes along.

Don't matter though. Still good!
