VERSE 1:
|
When I was a little bitty boy just up off the floor
|
We used to go out to Grandma's house every month end or so
|
Have chicken pie and country ham, homemade butter on the bread
|
But the best darn thing about Grandma's house was a great big feather bed
|
|
CHORUS:
|
It was nine feet high and six feet wide, 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'd hold eight kids 'n' four hound dogs and a piggy we stole from the shed
|
Didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun on Grandma's feather bed
|
|
VERSE 2:
|
After supper we'd sit around the fire, the old folks would spit and chew
|
Pa would talk about the farm and the war, Granny'd sing a ballad or two
|
And I'd sit and listen and watch the fire till the cobwebs filled my head
|
Next thing I’d know I’d wake up in the mornin' in the middle of the old feather bed
|
|
CHORUS:
|
It was nine feet high and six feet wide, 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'd hold eight kids 'n' four hound dogs and a piggy we stole from the shed
|
Didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun on Grandma's feather bed
|
VERSE 3:
|
Well I love my Ma, 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 ever had to make a choice, I guess it ought to be said…
|
I'd trade ‘em all plus the gal down the road for Grandma's feather bed
|
Yes I'd trade ‘em all, plus the gal down the road…
|
|
… Well, maybe I’d better reconsider about the gal down the road!
|
|
CHORUS:
|
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'd hold eight kids 'n' four hound dogs and a piggy we stole from the shed
|
Didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun on Grandma's feather bed
|
Didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun on Grandma's feather bed. yow!
