I Don't Want My Golden Slippers - Tom T. Hall

I don’t want my golden slippers when I reach my heaven’s home

I just want to see my Jesus sitting there upon his throne

I don’t want no fancy mansions just a place to rest my head

Where I 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 had journeyed on before

I don’t want my golden slippers just a plain and simply shoes

I don’t want my golden pathways just a country road or two

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
