《A-Sleeping At the Foot of the Bed》歌词

[00:00:00] A-Sleeping At The Foot Of The Bed - Little Jimmy Dickens

[00:00:06] Did you ever sleep at the foot of the bed

[00:00:09] When the weather was a whizzin' cold

[00:00:11] When the wind was a whistlin' round

[00:00:13] The house and the moon was yellow as gold

[00:00:17] You give your good one mattress

[00:00:19] Up to aunt Lizzie and uncle Fred

[00:00:22] Too many kinfolks on a bad night

[00:00:25] So you went to the foot of the bed

[00:00:28] I could always wait till the old folks

[00:00:31] Had an eating believings with grace

[00:00:33] The teacher could keep me after school

[00:00:36] I'd still have a smile on my face

[00:00:39] I could wear the big boys worn out clothes

[00:00:41] And let sister have my sled

[00:00:44] But I'd always did get my nanny goat

[00:00:47] To sleep at the foot of the bed

[00:01:11] Was fine enough when the kinfolks come

[00:01:14] And the kids brought brand new games

[00:01:16] You could see how fat all the old folks

[00:01:19] Was and learn all the babies names

[00:01:22] Had biscuits and custard and chicken pie

[00:01:25] We all got Sunday fed

[00:01:27] But I'd know darn well when nighttime come

[00:01:30] I was heading for the foot of the bed

[00:01:33] They say some folks don't know

[00:01:35] What it is having company all over the place

[00:01:38] To wrestle for cover on a winter night

[00:01:41] With a big foot sitting in your face

[00:01:44] Or a cold toenail just a scratching your back

[00:01:47] And the foot boards grabbing your head

[00:01:49] I'll tell the world you ain't lost a thing

[00:01:52] Never a sleepin' at the foot of the bed

[00:02:17] I've done it over and over again

[00:02:19] In this land of the brave and the free

[00:02:22] And in this awful battle of life

[00:02:25] It's left it's mark on me

[00:02:27] For I'm always a struggling around

[00:02:29] At the foot instead of forging ahead

[00:02:33] And I don't think it's caused from a dog

[00:02:35] Gone thing but a sleepin' at the foot of the bed
