  Grandma's Feather Bed

  Recorded by John Denver

  Lyrics and music by Jim Connor

  

  C            F  

  When I was a little bitty boy,

  C               G7

  just up off the floor

     C                  F

  We used to go down to Grandma's house,

  C           G7     C

  every month end or so

         C               F

  We had chicken pie and country ham,

      C                       G7

  and home made butter on the bread

          C                     F

  But the best darn thing about Grandma's house

          C         G7      C

  was her great big feather bed

  

  Chorus:

         C                  

  It was nine feet tall and six feet wide,

  F               C

  soft as a downy chick

                         

  It was made from the feathers of forty-leven geese,

         D7                          G7

  took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick

       C

  It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs

        F                       C

  and a piggy we stole from the shed

                      C7           F 

  We didn't get much sleep, but we had a lotta fun

      G7               C

  on Grandma's feather bed

  

  

  After supper we'd sit around the fire

  the old folks'd spit and chew

  Pa would talk about the farm and 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

  

  Repeat chorus

  

  Well, I love my Ma, I love my Pa

  I love Granny and Grandpa too

  I been fishin' with my uncle, I rassled with my cousin

  and I even kissed Aunt Lou - ooh!

  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

  

  Repeat chorus
