Verse 1

When I was a

little bitty boy

Just up off the

floor,

We used to go down to

Grandma's house

Every month

end or

so

We'd have

chicken pie and

country ham 'n'

Homemade butter on the

bread

But the

best darn thing about

Grandma's house

Was a

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 forty 'leven geese

Took a

whole bolt of cloth for the

tick

It'd

hold eight kids 'n' four hound dogs

And the

piggy we stole from the

shed (oink, oink!)

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

The old folks'd

spit and chew

Pa would talk about

the farm in 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

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 the

piggy we stole from the

shed (oink, oink!)

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 an

d granpa too

I been fishing with

my uncle, I wrestled with my cousin

I even kissed Aunt L

ou, eww!

But

if I ever had to ma

ke a choice

I guess it oughta

be said

That

I'd trade 'em all p

lus the gal down the road

For Gra

ndma's feather bed

I'd trade 'em all

plus the gal down the road

(Well, maybe not the gal down the road)

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

And it'd

hold eight kids, four hound dogs

And the

piggy we stole from the

shed (oink, oink!)

We didn't

get much sleep but we

had a lot of fun

On

Grandma's feather

bed

We didn't

get much sleep but we

had a lot of fun

On

Grandma's feather

bed
