Grandma¡¯s Feather Bed Lyrics

Send "Grandma¡¯s Feather Bed" Ringtone to your Cell

When I was a little bitty boy
Just up offa the floor
We used to go down to Grandma's house
Every monthend or so
We'd have chicken pie and country ham
'n 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 'n 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 supper we'd sit around the fire
The old folks'd spit and chew
Pa would talk about the farm and the war
And my Grann'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 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 'n 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, I love my Pa
Love Granny and Grandpa too
Been fishing with my uncle, I wrestled with my cousin
I even kissed Aunt Lou
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
That 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 'n 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

When is everybody going to get it right? While John Denver did a nice job recording it, "GrandMa's Feather Bed" was writen by Jim Conner (check out his web site) who accompanied John denver on the song and sang backup with his wife Julie. Earl Scruggs recently called Jim Conner The world's foremost "traditional, flail style" banjo player. Jim, who now gives his address as Gadsden Alabama, grew up in Holly Pond, Alabama with his boyhood friend, Steve Young, who wrote "Seven Bridges Road" which was recorded by the Eagles (Leo got that one wrong too!).

30 days. Man, that's harsh. I can't sing this song without smiling. It's just so good!

I just talked to a man in his 90's. He said during the flu epidemic of 1918, he and his brother both had the flu and got to sleep in the feather bed. It was like heaven because of the achiness. He said they were in bed for 30 days.

This is a good song but someone messed up the lyrics! The title is even wrong! It's Grandma's Feather Bed, not Grandmi-s Feather Bed!
