Grandma's Feather Bed

When I was a little bitty boy Just up off-a floor We used to go down to Grandmas house Every monthend or so Wed chicken pie and country ham N homemade butter on the bread But the best darn thing about Grandmas 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 Itd hold eight kids n four hound dogs And a piggy we stole from the shed We didnt get much sleep but we had a lot of fun On Grandmas feather bed After the supper wed sit around the fire The old folksd spit and chew Pa would talk about the farm and the war And my Grannd sing a ballad or two Id sit and listen and watch the fire Till the cobwebs filled my head Next thing Id know Id 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 Itd hold eight kids n four hound dogs And a piggy we stole from the shed We didnt get much sleep but we had a lot of fun On Grandmas 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 Id trade them all plus the gal down the road For Grandmas 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 Itd hold eight kids n four hound dogs And a piggy we stole from the shed We didnt get much sleep but we had a lot of fun On Grandmas feather bed
