When i was a little bitty boy Just up off-a floor We used to go down to grandma's house Every monthend or so We'd chicken pie and country ham &n 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 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 We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun On grandma's feather bed
After the supper we'd sit around the fire The old folks'd spit and chew Pa would talk about the farm and the war And my grann'd sing a ballad or two I'd sit and listen and watch the fire Till the cobwebs filled my head Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com 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 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 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 Been fishing with my uncle, i rassled with my cousin I even kissed aunt lou But if ever had to make a choice I guess it ought to be said That i'd trade them all plus the gal down the road For grandma's feather bed
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 We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun On grandma's feather bed
