IT WAS JUST
SOME BOARDS
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 WEDDIN'
THEY SAY
THE NEIGHBORS
CHEERED
AND HOLLERED
'TIL HIS FACE GOT RED
AND MAMA BROUGHT
THE FEATHER PILLOWS
AND SOME HAND MADE
BEDDIN'
AND THEY SPENT
THEIR WEDDIN' NIGHT
IN THAT BIG
FOUR POSTER BED
THAT NIGHT THEY SWORE
THAT LIKE THAT BED
THEIR LOVE
WOULD LAST FOREVER
AND THEY'D ASK
NO MORE OF LIFE
THAN THE SIMPLE THINGS
THEY HAD
SO THEY PLANNED
THEIR FUTURE
AS THEY LAID THERE
CLOSE TOGETHER
AND LATER
I WAS BORN THERE
IN THAT BIG
FOUR POSTER BED
IT WAS JUST
SOME BOARDS
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 FLUFFY
MOUNTAINS
FOR A LITTLE GIRL
TO HIDE IN
A CLOUD
FOR CHASING RAINBOWS
WAS THAT BIG
FOUR POSTER BED
I REMEMBER AS A CHILD
WAKING UP ON
WINTER MORNINGS
TO THE SOUND
OF LAUGHIN' VOICES
AND THE SMELL
OF BAKING BREAD
AND RUNNIN' CROSS
THAT COLD WOOD FLOOR
JUMPIN' IN THERE
WITH 'EM
AND LORD I FELT
SO SAFE AND WARM
IN THAT BIG
FOUR POSTER BED
THE DAY
THAT DADDY DIED
HE WHISPERED
SOMETHING SOFT
TO MAMA
TO THIS DAY
SHE'S NEVER TOLD
A SOUL
THE WORDS HE SAID
SHE JUST SMILED
THROUGH HER TEARS
HELD HIS HAND
AND NODDED
AND MY DADDY LOOKED
SO MUCH AT REST
IN THAT BIG
FOUR POSTER BED
IT WAS JUST
SOME BOARDS
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 FLUFFY
MOUNTAINS
FOR A LITTLE GIRL
TO HIDE IN
A CLOUD
FOR 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
DARLIN' WON'T
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 BOARDS
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 FLUFFY
MOUNTAINS
FOR A LITTLE GIRL
TO HIDE IN
A CLOUD
FOR CHASING RAINBOWS
WAS THAT BIG
FOUR POSTER BED
IT WAS JUST
SOME BOARDS
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 FLUFFY
MOUNTAINS
FOR A LITTLE GIRL
TO HIDE IN
