Grandma Is Feather Bed (Live At The Universal Amphitheatre, Los Angeles, Ca August+September 1974) - John Denver

作词：Jim Connor

作曲：Jim Connor

When I was a little bitty boy

Just up off-a floor

We used to go down to Grandma's house

Every month end or so

We had chicken pie and country ham

And homemade butter on the bread

But the best darn thing

about Grandma's 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

It'd hold eight kids 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

After the supper

we'd sit around the fire

The old folks'd 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 knew

I'd 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

It'd hold eight kids 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

Well I love my Ma an' I love my Pa

Love Granny and Grandpa too

Been fishing with my uncle

I wrestled with my cousin

I even kissed Aunt Lou oooh

But if ever had to make a choice

I guess it ought to be said

That I'd trade them all plus

the gal down the road

For Grandma's feather bed

Yes I'd trade them all plus

the gal down the road

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

It'd hold eight kids 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

We didn't get much sleep

but we had a lot of fun

On Grandma's feather bed
