VERSE 1
Ole Uncle Ned, was workin' in th field
His banjo hangin' on a tree
Long come death an' topped 'im in th head
Come along Ned, with me
CHORUS:
Don't you hear them bells
Don't you hear them bells
They are ringing at th Glory of th land
VERSE 2
Ole Uncle Ben an' Sister Lou
Telegraph news to th Uncle Back-a-jew
Darkies all say, we'll have a happy time
When I ride up th chariot in th mornin'
VERSE 3
O, them golden slippers, O
Them golden slippers, them golden slippers
Look so neat
O, them golden slippers, O
Them golden slippers, them golden slippers
Gonna' wear, to walk th golden street
