Intro

Verse 1

When I was a

little bitty boy

Just up off the f

loor,

We used to go down to

Grandma's house

Every month

end or

so

We'd have

chicken pie,

country ham

Home-made butter on the

bread

But the

best darn thing about

Grandma's house

Was the

great big feather

bed

Chorus

It was

nine feet high, and six feet wide

And

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, and 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

Verse 2

After supper we'd

sit around the fire

And the

old folks would 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

Chorus

It was

nine feet high, and six feet wide

And

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, and 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

Verse 3

Well, I

love my ma, I

love my pa

I love

Granny and Grandpa

too

I've been

fishing with my uncles, I

wrestled with my cousin

I

even kissed Aunt

Lou (ew!)

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 them all plus the

gal down the road ... (Well, {mumbling} not the gal down the road)

Chorus

It was

nine feet high, and six feet wide

And

soft as a downy

chick

It was

made from the feathers of forty 'leven geese

Took a

whole bolt of cloth for the

tick

And it'd

hold eight kids, and 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
