[D]
When I [G] was a little bitty [D] boy just [A] about four
[A] Grandma's house every month [D] and a so
country [D] ham, homemade [A] butter on the bread
Grandma's [A] house was a great [D] big feather bed
six feet [G] wide, soft as a [D] downy chick
leavened [E] geese that could hold a [A] plop for a foot
hound [G] dogs, big as these [D] foals could shed

_ _ _ _ _ When I [G] was a little bitty [D] boy just [A] about four
_ [D] We used to [G] go out to [A] Grandma's house every month [D] and a so
Have chicken, [G] prime, country [D] ham, homemade [A] butter on the bread
[D] But the best darn [G] thing about Grandma's [A] house was a great [D] big feather bed
It was nine feet high and six feet [G] wide, soft as a [D] downy chick
Made from the feathers of four leavened [E] geese that could hold a [A] plop for a foot
[D] It held eight kids and four hound [G] dogs, big as these [D] foals could shed
Didn't get much [G] sleep but we had a lot of [A] fun on [D] Grandma's feather bed
After supper [G] we'd sit around a [D] fire, the old goats [A] would spit and chew
[D] All the talk [G] about the farm and the [A] war and my friends singing about [D] Adelaide too
I'd sit and [G] listen and watch the [D] fire till the cobweb [A] filled my head
[D] Next thing I'd know [G] I'd wake up in the morning [A] in the middle of the [D] old feather bed
It was nine feet high and six feet [G] wide, soft as a [D] downy chick
