《A-Sleepin’ At The Foot Of The Bed》歌词

[00:00:00] A-Sleepin' At The Foot Of The Bed - "Little" Jimmy Dickens

[00:00:06] Did you ever sleep

[00:00:07] At the foot of the bed

[00:00:09] When the weather

[00:00:09] Was a whizzin' cold

[00:00:11] When the wind

[00:00:12] Was a whistlin' round

[00:00:13] The house and the moon

[00:00:15] Was yeller as gold

[00:00:17] You give your good warm 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

[00:00:30] Et an eat the leavin's with grace

[00:00:33] The teacher could

[00:00:34] 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

[00:00:40] Worn out clothes

[00:00:42] 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

[00:01:12] Was fine enough

[00:01:13] When the kinfolks come

[00:01:14] And the kids brought

[00:01:15] Brand new games

[00:01:17] You could see

[00:01:17] How fat all the old folks

[00:01:19] Was and learn

[00:01:20] All the babies names

[00:01:22] Had biscuits and custard

[00:01:24] And chicken pie

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

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

[00:01:29] When nighttime come

[00:01:30] I was heading

[00:01:31] For the foot of the bed

[00:01:34] They say some folks don't know

[00:01:35] What it is having company

[00:01:37] All over the place

[00:01:39] To wrestle for cover

[00:01:40] On a winter night

[00:01:41] With a big foot sitting

[00:01:43] In your face

[00:01:44] Or a cold toenail

[00:01:46] Just a scratching your back

[00:01:47] And the foot boards

[00:01:48] Scrubbin' your head

[00:01:50] I'll tell the world

[00:01:51] You ain't lost a thing

[00:01:52] Never a sleepin'

[00:01:53] At the foot of the bed

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

[00:02:20] In this land of the brave

[00:02:21] And the free

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

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

[00:02:28] For I'm always a struggling around

[00:02:30] At the foot instead

[00:02:31] Of forging ahead

[00:02:33] And I don't think

[00:02:34] It's caused from a dog

[00:02:35] Gone thing but a sleepin'

[00:02:37] At the foot of the bed
