Intro
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, 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
