Grandma's Feather Bed
[Verse 1]
C F C G
When I was a little bitty boy, just up off the floor.
C F C G C
We used to go down to Grandma's house every month end or so.
C F C G
We’d Chicken Pie and Country Ham, and Homemade butter on the bread.
C F G C
But the best darn thing about Grandma's house was her great big Feather Bed.
[Chorus]
C F C
It was nine feet high and six feet wide, soft as a downy chick.
C D7 G
It was made from the feathers of forty-lev’n geese, took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick.
C F C
It’d hold eight kids and four hound dogs, little piggy we stole from the shed.
C F G C
Didn’t get much sleep but we had a lot of fun on Grandma's Feather Bed.
[Verse 2]
C F C G
After supper we’d sit around the fire, the old folks spit and chew.
C F C G C
Pa would talk about the farm and the war and Granny’d sing a ballad or two.
C F C G
I’d sit and listen and watch the fire till the cobwebs filled my head.
C F G C
Next thing I know I’d wake up in the morning, in the middle of the old Feather Bed.
[Chorus]
C F C
It was nine feet high and six feet wide, soft as a downy chick.
C D7 G
It was made from the feathers of forty-lev’n geese, took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick.
C F C
It’d hold eight kids and four hound dogs, little piggy we stole from the shed.
C F G C
Didn’t get much sleep but we had a lot of fun on Grandma's Feather Bed.
[Verse 3]
C F C G
Well, I love my ma, I love my Pa, Love my Granny and my Grandpa too.
C F C G C
Went fishin' with my Uncle, wrastled with my cousin, I even kissed Aunt Lou, Ewww
C F C G
But if I ever had to make a choice I guess it oughta be said,
C F
I’d trade 'em all plus the gal down the road, “Have to think twice about the gal down the road”
Pause…
[Chorus]
C F C
It was nine feet high and six feet wide, soft as a downy chick.
