Grandma's Feather Bed Lyrics - John Denver

When I was a little bitty boy 

Just up off-a floor 

We used to go down to Grandmas house 

Every monthend or so 

Wed chicken pie and country ham 

N homemade butter on the bread 

But the best darn thing about Grandmas house 

Was her great big feather bed 

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 

Itd hold eight kids n four hound dogs 

And a piggy we stole from the shed 

We didnt get much sleep but we had a lot of fun 

On Grandmas feather bed

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

After the supper wed sit around the fire 

The old folksd spit and chew 

Pa would talk about the farm and the war 

And my Grannd sing a ballad or two 

Id sit and listen and watch the fire 

Till the cobwebs filled my head 

Next thing Id know Id wake up in the morning 

In the middle of the old feather bed 

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 

Itd hold eight kids n four hound dogs 

And a piggy we stole from the shed 

We didnt get much sleep but we had a lot of fun 

On Grandmas feather bed

Well I love my Ma, I love my Pa 

Love Granny and Grandpa too 

Been fishing with my uncle, I rassled with my cousin 

I even kissed Aunt Lou 

But if ever had to make a choice 

I guess it ought to be said 

That Id trade them all plus the gal down the road 

For Grandmas feather bed 

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 

Itd hold eight kids n four hound dogs 

And a piggy we stole from the shed 

We didnt get much sleep but we had a lot of fun 

On Grandmas feather bed
