John Denver - Grandma`s Feather Bed

When I was a little bitty boy
just up off a floor
We used to go down
to Grandma's house
ev'ry month end or so
We'd heva chicken pie
and country ham
n home made butter
on the bread
But the best darn
thing about Grandma's house
was her great big feather bed
It was nine feet tall
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 frome
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'd 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 mornin'
in the middle of the
old feather bed
It was nine feet tall
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 frome
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 fishin' with my uncle
I rasled with my cousin
I even kissed Aunt Lou ooo
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
