Tom: C5
C5 F5
When I was a little bitty boy,
C5 G5
Just up off the floor
C5 F5
We used to go down to Grandma's house,
C5 G5 C5
Every month end or so
C5 F5
We had chicken pie and country ham ,
C5 G5
And home made butter on the bread
C5 F5
But the best darn thing about Grandma's house
C5 G5 C5
Was her great big feather bed
Chorus:
C5
It was nine feet tall and six feet wide,
F5 C5
Soft as a downy chick
It was made from the feathers of forty-leven geese,
D5 G5
Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
C5
It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs
F5 C5
And a piggy we stole from the shed
C5 F5
We didn't get much sleep, but we had a lotta fun
G5 C5
On Grandma's feather bed
C5 F5
After supper we'd sit around the fire
C5 G5
The old folks'd spit and chew
C5 F5
Pa would talk about the farm and war
C5 G5 C5
And Granny'd sing a ballad or two
C5 F5
I'd sit and listen and watch the fire
C5 G5
Till the cobwebs filled my head
C5 F5
Next thing I'd know, I'd wake up in the mornin'
C5 G5 C5
In the middle of the old feather bed
**Chorus
C5 F5
Well, I love my Ma, I love my Pa
C5 G5
I love Granny and Grandpa too
C5 F5
I been fishin' with my uncle, I rassled with my cousin
C5 G5 C5
And I even kissed Aunt Lou - ooh!
C5 F5
But if I ever had to make a choice
C5 G5
I guess it oughta be said
C5 F5
That I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road
C5 G5 C5
For Grandma's feather bed
**Chorus
