[00:00.00]Grandma's Feather Bed (Live at the Universal Amphitheatre, Los Angeles, CA - August/September 1974) - John Denver
[00:16.61]When I was a little bitty boy just up off a floor
[00:20.15]
[00:20.86]We used to go down to Grandma's house every month end or so
[00:24.79]We'd have chicken pie and country ham
[00:27.20]Homemade butter on the bread
[00:29.58]But the best darn thing about Grandma's house
[00:31.34]Was her great big feather bed
[00:33.47]It was nine feet wide and six feet high soft as a downy chick
[00:37.64]It was made from the feathers of forty-eleven geese
[00:39.82]Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
[00:41.68]
[00:42.23]It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs
[00:44.62]And a piggy we stole from the shed
[00:46.61]We didn't get much sleep
[00:47.88]But we had a lot of fun on Grandma's feather bed
[00:50.68]
[00:51.21]After supper we'd sit around the fire
[00:53.35]The old folks would spit and chew
[00:55.43]
[00:56.09]Pa would talk about the farm and the war
[00:58.22]And Granny'd sing a ballad or two
[00:59.99]I'd sit and listen and watch the fire till the cobwebs filled my head
[01:04.30]Next thing I'd know I'd wake up in the morning
[01:06.61]In the middle of the old feather bed
[01:08.10]
[01:08.68]It was nine feet wide and six feet high
[01:11.05]Soft as a downy chick
[01:12.41]
[01:13.05]It was made from the feathers of forty-eleven geese
[01:15.41]Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
[01:17.12]It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs
[01:19.55]And a piggy we stole from the shed
[01:21.50]We didn't get much sleep
[01:23.27]But we had a lot of fun on Grandma's feather bed
[01:25.63]
[01:31.82]Well I love my Ma I love my Pa
[01:34.03]I love Granny and Grandpa too
[01:36.20]I been fishing with my uncle I ras'led with my cousin
[01:39.13]I even kissed Aunt Lou ew
[01:41.22]But if I ever had to make a choice I guess it oughta be said
[01:45.14]That I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road for
[01:47.78]Grandma's feather bed
[01:49.75]I'd trade 'em all plus the gal down the road
[01:54.39]
[01:56.71]I'll have to reconsider 'bout the gal down the road
[01:59.86]It was nine feet wide and six feet high soft as a downy chick
[02:04.15]It was made from the feathers of forty-eleven geese
[02:06.76]Took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick
[02:08.76]It'd hold eight kids and four hound dogs
[02:10.88]And a piggy we stole from the shed
[02:12.45]We didn't get much sleep but we had a lot of fun
[02:15.44]On Grandma's feather bed
[02:16.68]
[02:17.25]We didn't get much sleep
[02:18.51]But we had a lot of fun on Grandma's feather bed
