Big Four-Poster Bed (1974)
It was just some board of rough-cut pine and a quilt of patchwork cotton
A place to lay your body down was that big four-poster bed
Daddy built it out of pine two days before the wedding
They say the neighbors cheered and hollered till his face got red
And mama brought the feather pillows and some handmade bedding
And they spent their wedding night in that big four-poster bed
That night they swore that like the bed their love would last forever
And theyâd ask no more of life than the simple things they had
So they planned the future as they lay there close together
And later I was born there in that big four-poster bed
It was just some board of rough-cut pine and a quilt of patchwork cotton
A place to lay your body down a place to rest your head
A field of crooked mountains for a little girl to hide in
A cloud with chasing rainbows was that big four-poster bed
I remember as a child waking up on winter mornings
To the sound of laughing voices and the smell of bacon grease
And running cross that cold wood floor and jumping in there with them
And lord I felt so safe and warm in that big four-poster bed
The day that daddy died it was but something soft to mama
To this day sheâs never told a soul the words he said
She just smiled through the tears held his hands and nodded
And my daddy looked so much at rest in that big four-poster bed
It was just some board of rough-cut pine and a quilt of patchwork cotton
A place to lay your body down a place to rest your head
A field of crooked mountains for a little girl to hide in
A cloud with chasing rainbows was that big four-poster bed
Now time has dried up all the tears here I stand a woman
Your arms reach out to touch my soul your sweet words turn my head
Darling wonât you tell me first this will be forever
Before you lead me up the stairs to that big four-poster bed
Cause only love has ever touched that big four-poster bed
Yes it was just some board of rough-cut pine and a quilt of patchwork cotton
A place to lay your body down a place to rest your head
A field of crooked mountains for a little girl to hide in
A cloud with chasing rainbows was that big four-poster bed
