[ti: Big Four Poster Bed]
[length: 04:36]
[00:07.76]It was just boards of rough cut pine
[00:11.37]And a quilt of patch work cotton
[00:15.65]A place to lay your body down was that big four poster bed
[00:24.26]Daddy built it out of pine two days before the wedding
[00:31.10]They say the neighbours cheered and hollered till his face got red
[00:38.77]And Mama brought the feather pillows and some handmade bedding
[00:45.23]And they spent their wedding night in that big four poster bed
[00:54.00]That night they swore like that bed their love would last forever
[01:01.77]And they’d ask no more of life than the simple things they had
[01:08.75]So they planed there future as they laid close together
[01:15.32]And later I was born there in that big four poster bed
[01:23.70]It was just some boards of rough cut pine
[01:27.55]And a quilt of patch work cotton
[01:31.21]A place to lay your body down, a place to rest your head
[01:38.37]A field of fluffy mountains for a little girl to hide in
[01:45.51]Clouds and chasing rainbows was that big four poster bed
[01:54.26]I remember as a child waking up on a winter morning
[02:01.08]With Sound of laughing voices and the smell of baking bread
[02:08.29]And running across that coal wood floor jumping there with them
[02:14.77]And Lord, I felt so safe and warm in that big four poster bed
[02:24.20]The day that Daddy died, he whispered something soft to mama
[02:30.63]To this day she’s never told a soul the words he said
[02:38.91]She just smiled through her tears and held his hand and nodded
[02:45.21]And my Daddy looked so much at rest in that big four poster bed
[02:56.48]It was just some boards of rough cut pine
[02:57.40]And a quilt of patchwork cotton
[03:00.65]A place to lay your body down, a place to rest your head
[03:08.25]A field of fluffy mountains for a little girl to hide in
[03:15.05]Clouds and chasing rainbows was that big four poster bed
[03:24.25]Now time has dried up all the tears here I stand a woman
[03:33.48]Your arms reach out to touch my soul, your sweet words turn my head
[03:37.72]Darling, won’t you tell me first this will be forever
[03:44.12]Before you lead me up the stairs to that big four poster bed
[03:52.43]’Cause only love has ever touched, that big four poster bed
[04:06.08]Yes, it was just some boards of rough cut pine
[04:09.73]And a quilt of patchwork cotton
[04:13.40]A place to lay your body down, a place to rest your head
[04:21.42]A field of fluffy mountains for a little girl to hide in
[04:28.03]Clouds and chasing rainbows was that big four poster bed
