Grandma's Feather Bed
(专辑: The World Needs A Melody - 1973)
When I
was a
little bitty boy, just up off a
floor We used to go down to Grandma's house every month end or so We'd have chicken pie and country ham, homemade butter on the
bread But the
best darn thing about Grandma's house was her great big feather bed It was nine feet wide, and six feet high, soft as a
downy chick It was made from the
feathers of forty-eleven geese Took a
whole bolt of cloth for the
tick It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs and a
piggy 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 around the
fire, the
old folks would 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 Next thing I'd know I'd wake up in the
morning In the
middle of the
old feather bed It was nine feet wide, and six feet high, soft as a
downy chick It was made from the
feathers of forty-eleven geese Took a
whole bolt of cloth for the
tick It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs and a
piggy 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, I
love my Pa, I
love Granny and Grandpa too I
been fishing with my uncle, I
ras'led with my cousin, I
even kissed Aunt Lou, ew But if I
ever had to make a
choice, I
guess it oughta be said That I'd trade 'em all plus the
gal down the
road for Grandma's feather bed I'd trade 'em all plus the
gal down the
road I'll have to reconsider 'bout the
gal down the
road It was nine feet wide, and six feet high, soft as a
downy chick It was made from the
feathers of forty-eleven geese Took a
whole bolt of cloth for the
tick It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs and a
piggy we stole from the
shed We didn't get much sleep but we had a
lot of fun on Grandma's feather bed We didn't get much sleep but we had a
lot of fun on Grandma's feather bed
