Grandma’s Feather Bed Lyrics
Artist(Band):John Denver
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'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 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 Id wake up in the mornin'
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
I Love Granny and Grandpa too
I Been fishing with my uncle, I rassled with my cousin
I even kissed Aunt Lou eww!
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
**(whispered section)** Well, maybe I'll reconsider about the gal down the road.
For Grandma's 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
We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
On Grandma's feather bed

Review about Grandma’s Feather Bed
Grandma's Feather Bed | Reviewer: Tim | 1/28/2008
I grew up with this "bouncy" song as a kid, loving especially the whispered part about the gal down the road. Not until I read the lyrics, though, did I understand all the words to the chorus, which is good since I would not have known what a bolt or tick was when it came to making a feather bed. As an adult the song represents more than just a childhood memory, however. John Denver's music became immortalized in my mind and heart the day he died in that plane crash. Ever since then, the songs he sang - always with a smile, doing what he loved to do most - became songs that stood for the best in love, and romance, family and friendship. He shared his life with us, his fans for a very brief time, but left behind a legacy that most men never achive in two lifetimes. I won't be surpised, if when we get to heaven, we will see John Denver playing music while sitting in the middle of a great big feather bed.

Oh such a lovely bouncy song about childhood in the American South back in the day! lol Got this in my John Denver boxset and it's a lot of fun esp. the part about 8 kids, 4 dogs & the piggy they stole from the shed! Gotta love that piggy... : D Great song that should be listened to over and over again. : )
Whats the whisper? | Reviewer: Owen | 11/17/2007
Very good, but you missed the bit where he whisperes something after saying 'I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road...' for the second time. What does he whisper?
