A-Sleepin' At The Foot Of The Bed - "Little" Jimmy Dickens[00:00:00]
Did you ever sleep[00:00:06]
At the foot of the bed[00:00:07]
When the weather[00:00:09]
Was a whizzin' cold [00:00:09]
When the wind[00:00:11]
Was a whistlin' round[00:00:12]
The house and the moon[00:00:13]
Was yeller as gold[00:00:15]
You give your good warm mattress[00:00:17]
Up to aunt Lizzie and uncle Fred[00:00:19]
Too many kinfolks on a bad night[00:00:22]
So you went to the foot of the bed[00:00:25]
I could always wait till the old folks[00:00:28]
Et an eat the leavin's with grace[00:00:30]
The teacher could[00:00:33]
Keep me after school[00:00:34]
I'd still have a smile on my face[00:00:36]
I could wear the big boys[00:00:39]
Worn out clothes[00:00:40]
And let sister have my sled[00:00:42]
But I'd always did get my nanny goat[00:00:44]
To sleep at the foot of the bed[00:00:47]
Was fine enough[00:01:12]
When the kinfolks come[00:01:13]
And the kids brought[00:01:14]
Brand new games[00:01:15]
You could see[00:01:17]
How fat all the old folks[00:01:17]
Was and learn[00:01:19]
All the babies names[00:01:20]
Had biscuits and custard[00:01:22]
And chicken pie[00:01:24]
We all got Sunday fed[00:01:25]
But I'd know darn well[00:01:27]
When nighttime come[00:01:29]
I was heading[00:01:30]
For the foot of the bed[00:01:31]
They say some folks don't know[00:01:34]
What it is having company[00:01:35]
All over the place[00:01:37]
To wrestle for cover[00:01:39]
On a winter night[00:01:40]
With a big foot sitting[00:01:41]
In your face[00:01:43]
Or a cold toenail[00:01:44]
Just a scratching your back[00:01:46]
And the foot boards[00:01:47]
Scrubbin' your head[00:01:48]
I'll tell the world[00:01:50]
You ain't lost a thing[00:01:51]
Never a sleepin'[00:01:52]
At the foot of the bed[00:01:53]
I've done it over and over again[00:02:17]
In this land of the brave[00:02:20]
And the free[00:02:21]
And in this awful battle of life[00:02:22]
It's left it's mark on me[00:02:25]
For I'm always a struggling around[00:02:28]
At the foot instead[00:02:30]
Of forging ahead[00:02:31]
And I don't think[00:02:33]
It's caused from a dog[00:02:34]
Gone thing but a sleepin'[00:02:35]
At the foot of the bed[00:02:37]
