When I was a little bitty boy
Just off floor
We used to go down
to grandma�s house
every month end or so
Eat chicken pie
and country ham
and homemade
butter on the bread
but the best darn thing
about grandma�s house
was her great big feather bed
It was nine feet high
six feet wide
Soft as a downy chick
Made from feathers
of forty seven geese
Took a whole bolt
of cloth for the tick
It�d hold eight kids,
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 did
spit and chew
Pa would talk about
the farm and the war
and my grand
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 high
six feet wide
Soft as a downy chick
Made from feathers
of forty seven geese
Took a whole bolt
of cloth for the tick
It�d hold eight kids,
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
Love granny
and grandpa too
I'd been fishing with my uncle,
I rassled with my cousin
I even kissed aunt Lou
If I ever had
to make a choice
I guess it ought to be said
I�d trade them all
plus the gal down the road
for grandma�s feather bed
It was nine feet high
six feet wide
Soft as a downy chick
Made from feathers
of forty seven geese
Took a whole bolt
of cloth for the tick
It�d hold eight kids,
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
Didn�t get much sleep
but we had a lot of fun
on grandma�s feather bed
