D G

When I was a little bitty boy

D A

Just up off the floor

D G

We used to go down to Grandma's house

D A D

Every month end or so

D G

We'd have chicken pie, country ham

D A

Home-made butter on the bread

D G

But the best darn thing about Grandma'a house

A D

Was the great big feather bed

Chorus

D

It was nine feet high and six feet wide

G D

Soft as a downy chick

D

It was made of the feathers of four-eleven geese

E7 A

And a while roll of clothe for the tick

D

It could hold eight kids and four hound dogs

G D

And the piggy that we stole form the shed

D G

Didn't get much sleep but we had alot of fun

A D

In Grandma's feather bed

After supper we'd sit around the fire

The old folks spit and chew

Pa would talk about the farm in the war

And Grandma'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 morn'

In the middle of the old feather bed

Chorus

Well, I love my ma, I love my pa

I love Granny and Grandpa too

I been fishing with my uncle, I wrestled with my cousin

And I even kissed Aunt Sue

But if I ever had to make a choice

I think it oughta be said

That I'd trade them all plus the gal down the road

For Grandma's feather bed

(Well, maybe not the gal down the road)

Chorus X2
