John Denver - Grandma's Feather Bed Lyrics
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, 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
took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick.
It'd hold eight kids and 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 would 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 morning
in the middle of the old feather bed.
It was made from the feathers of forty-eleven geese,
took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick.
It'd hold eight kids and 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 ras'led with my cousin, I even kissed Aunt Lou, ew!
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...
I'll have to reconsider 'bout 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-eleven geese,
took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick.
It'd hold eight kids and 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.

John Denver Grandma's Feather Bed Comments
Beautiful song
My parents and I got the unbelievable treat to see the John Denver Rocky Mountain High holiday tribute last night at the Dallas Meyerson with his original fiddle player John Sommers in his first band and original piano player Chris Nole in what would come to be John’s last band (bookends in John’s musical career) hearing songs like these and other gems! I had never heard this song before and I absolutely love it so much I’ve had it on repeat! I know it wasn’t the real John Denver last night, I sure do appreciate those who have seen him live while he was still here but all I can say is I feel like he was there with us smiling on us! John Denver, the voice of Christmas, peace, love and all good things ❤️
