Kishore Kumar Hits — Little Jimmy Dickens - A-Sleeping At The Foot Of The Bed текст песни

Исполнитель: Little Jimmy Dickens

альбом: Great Big Hits

Did you ever sleep at the foot of the bed
When the weather was a-whizzin' cold
When the wind was a whistlin' around the house
And the moon was yeller as gold?
You give your good warm mattress up
To Aunt Lizzie and Uncle Fred
Too many kinfolks on a bad night
And you went to the foot of the bed
I could always wait 'til the old folks
Ate and eat the leavens with grace
The teacher could keep me after school
I'd still have a smile on my face
I could wear the big boys' worn out clothes
Or let sister have my sled
But it always did get my nanny goat
To sleep at the foot of the bed
It was fine enough when the kinfolks come
And the kids brought brand new games
You could see how fat all the old folks was
And learn all the babies' names
Had biscuits and custard and chicken pie
We all got Sunday fed
But I know darn well when nighttime come
I was headed for the foot of the bed
They say some folks don't know what it is
Havin' company all over the place
To rassle for cover on a winter night
With a big foot settin' in your face
Or a cold toenail a-scratchin' your back
And the footboard scrubbin' your head
I'll tell the world you ain't lost a thing
Never sleepin' at the foot of the bed
I've done it over and over again
In this land of the brave and the free
And in this all fired battle of life
It's left its mark on me
For I'm always a strugglin' around
At the foot, instead of forgin' ahead
And I don't think it's caused from a doggone thing
But sleepin' at the foot of the bed
