Capo 3

        D                              G                 D
I don't want my golden slippers when I reach my heaven's home
       D                            E7             A
I just want to see my Jesus sitting there upon his throne
        D                             G                D
I don't want no fancy mansions just a place to rest my head
           D                            A              D
Where I'll rest in peace eternal when I pay my earthly debt


I don't want my golden slippers when I enter heaven's door
I'll be free to sing his praises where the sun shines evermore
Just a plain and simple cottage down the street from Jesus' door
Where I'll visit with my loved ones who have journeyed on before

I don't want my golden slippers just a plain and simple shoe
I don't want my golden pathways just a country road will do
Love to see the devil tremble when he sees me on my knees
I don't want my golden slippers I'm just longing to be free
