Grandma`s Feather Bed — текст песни (John Denver)

When I was a little bitty boy
just up off a floor
We used to go down to Grandma`s house
ev`ry month end or so,
We`d heva chicken pie and country ham
`n` home made butter on the bread
But the best darn thing about Grandma`s house
was her great big feather bed

It was nine feet tall 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 frome 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 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`d know I`d wake up in the mornin`
in the middle of the old feather bed

It was nine feet tall 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 frome 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 fishin` with my uncle
I rasled with my cousin
I even kissed Aunt Lou ooo!
But if I ever had to make a choice
I guess it oughta be said
That I`d trade `em all plus the gal down the road
for Grandma`s feather bed
I`d trade `em all plus the gal down the road...

It was nine feet tall 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 frome 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
