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

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

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

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

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

You give your good one 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]

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

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

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

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

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

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 when the kinfolks come[00:01:11]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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[00:02:27]

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

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

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