Written in 1874 when Bland was still 19 years old. The music has the spirit of a gospel song with suggestions of the cakewalk and ragtime which came later. It is referred to in I&#8217;ll Rise When the Rooster Crows by Uncle Dave Macon. It is also used for a fiddle tune. To get all the words in you have to slow it down. I mispronounced Bacco which refers to tobacco not bacon. A good &#8220;gang&#8221; song (for harmonizing).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The sheet music:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-interactive=\"core\/file\" class=\"wp-block-file\"><object data-wp-bind--hidden=\"!state.hasPdfPreview\" hidden class=\"wp-block-file__embed\" data=\"https:\/\/sheetmusicsinger.com\/highbrownsongs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Oh-dem-Golden-Slippers.pdf\" type=\"application\/pdf\" style=\"width:100%;height:600px\" aria-label=\"Embed of Oh-dem-Golden-Slippers - Sheet Music.\"><\/object><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-35d684e5-283a-4501-a152-727cba66d9e3\" href=\"https:\/\/sheetmusicsinger.com\/highbrownsongs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Oh-dem-Golden-Slippers.pdf\">Oh-dem-Golden-Slippers &#8211; Sheet Music<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sheetmusicsinger.com\/highbrownsongs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Oh-dem-Golden-Slippers.pdf\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-35d684e5-283a-4501-a152-727cba66d9e3\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Accompaniment by Werner Tomaschewski:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-file\"><a id=\"wp-block-file--media-18acc7e3-dd6e-4e80-8e4a-77d6f3c9dd9c\" href=\"https:\/\/sheetmusicsinger.com\/highbrownsongs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Oh-dem-Golden-Slippers.mid\">Oh-dem-Golden-Slippers &#8211; MIDI<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/sheetmusicsinger.com\/highbrownsongs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Oh-dem-Golden-Slippers.mid\" class=\"wp-block-file__button wp-element-button\" download aria-describedby=\"wp-block-file--media-18acc7e3-dd6e-4e80-8e4a-77d6f3c9dd9c\">Download<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Lyrics<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Oh, my golden slippers am alaid away<br>Kase I don\u2019t \u2019spect to wear \u2019em till my weddin\u2019day<br>And my long tail\u2019d coat, dat I loved so well<br>I will wear up in de chariot in de morn<br>And my long white robe dat I boought last June<br>I\u2019m gwine to git changed kase it fits too soon<br>And de ole gray hoss dat I used to drive<br>I will hitch him to de chariot in de morn<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chorus<br>Oh, dem golden slippers!
