This song's roots go back to a couple of British Isles traditional tunes namely The Lass of Roch Royal and Lord Gregory. After undergoing the folk process in America it appears as Who's Gonna Shoe Your Pretty Little Feet/Little Red Shoes/Green Valley Waltz. It was first recorded by McCartt Brothers and Patterson in 1929 under the Green Valley Waltz title.
Different versions abound and have been recorded by everyone from Woody Guthrie & Cisco Houston, the Monroe Brothers to the Everly Brothers.
The different performances of this song have different lyrics which are sometimes also found in Don't Let Your Deal Go Down and The Storms Are on the Ocean (my version of the later can be found at • The Storms Are on the ... ).
Lyrics:
Who’s gonna shoe your pretty little foot
Who’s gonna glove your hand
Who’s gonna kiss your red ruby lips
Who’s gonna be your man
Papa will shoe my pretty little foot
Mama will glove my hand
Sister’s gonna kiss my red ruby lips
I don’t need no man
I don’t need no man
I don’t need no man
Sister’s gonna kiss my red ruby lips
I don’t need no man
Longest train I ever did ride
Was sixteen coaches long
And the only woman ever did love
Was on that train and gone
On that train and gone
On that train and gone
And the only woman ever did love
On that train and gone
