Verse

When I was a

little bitty boy

Just up off-a

floor

We used to go down to

Grandma's house

Every month

end or

so

We had

chicken pie and

country ham

And h

omemade butter on the

bread

But the

best darn thing about

Grandma's house

Was her

great big

feather

bed

Chorus

It was

nine feet high and

six feet wide

Soft as a downy

chick

It was

made from the feathers of f

orty 'leven 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

Verse

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

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 knew I'd

wake up in the morning

In the

middle of the

old feather

bed

Chorus

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,

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

Well I

love my Ma, an' I l

ove my Pa

Love

Granny and Grandpa

too

Been

fishing with my uncle, I

wrestled with my cousin

I

even kissed Aunt

Lou oooh

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

Chorus

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,

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
