Title: Grandma's Feather Bed Artist: John Denver Written by JAMES N CONNOR Publisher: CHERRY RIVER MUSIC CO ----------------------------------------------------------
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
