Grandma's Feather Bed
Key: DEnglish
Verse
When I Dwas a little Gbitty boy
DJust up off the A7floor
We Dused to go down to GGrandma's house
DEvery month A7end or Dso
Verse
We'd have Dchicken pie Gcountry ham
DHome-made butter on the A7bread
But the Dbest darn thing about GGrandma's house
Was the Dgreat big A7feather Dbed
Chorus
It was Dnine feet high and Gsix feet wide
DSoft as a downy A7chick
It was Dmade of the feathers of forty-Gleven' geese
Took a E7whole bolt of cloth for the A7tick
It could Dhold eight kids and Gfour hound dogs
And a Dpiggy we stole from the A7shed
We Ddidn't get much sleep but Gwe had a lot of fun
In DGrandma's A7feather Dbed
Verse
After supper we'd sit around the fire
The old folks spit and chew
Pa would talk about the farm in the war
And Grandma'd sing a ballad or two
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 morn'
In the middle of the old feather bed
(Chorus)
Verse
Well I love my ma I love my pa
I love Granny and Grandpa too
I been fishing with my uncle I wrestled with my cousin
And I even kissed Aunt Lou Ooh!
But if I ever had to make a choice
I think it oughta be said
That I'd trade them all plus the gal down the road
For Grandma's feather bed
(Chorus, 2x)
