Grandma's Feather Bed

歌詞

Now when I was a little bitty boy Just up off the floor We used to go down to grandma's house Every month end or so We had chicken pie and country ham And homemade butter on the bread But the best darn thing about grandma's house Was a great big feather bed It was nine feet high and six feet wide And soft as a downy chick It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick It could hold eight kids and four hound dogs And a piggy that we stole from the shed We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun On grandma's feather bed After supper, we'd sit 'round the fire The old folks, spit and chew Pa would talk about the farm and the war and Granny'd sing a ballad or two I'd sit and listen and watch the fire Till the cobwebs filled my head And the next thing I knew, I'd wake up in the mornin' In the middle of the old feather bed And it was nine feet high and six feet wide And soft as a downy chick It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick It could hold eight kids and four hound dogs And a piggy that we stole from the shed We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun On grandma's feather bed Well, I love my ma and I love my pa I love granny and grandpa too I've been fishing with my uncle, I've wrestled with my cousin I even kissed Aunt Lou, eww But if I had to make a choice I guess it ought to be said That I'd trade 'em all in plus the girl down the road For Grandma's feather bed Well, it was nine feet high and six feet wide And soft as a downy chick It was made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick It could hold eight kids and four hound dogs And a piggy that we stole from the shed We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun On grandma's feather bed
