Featherbed Lyrics



If I were a featherbed in your house so fine

I'd hold you in my arms each night, keep you warm in the

wintertime



If I were an old banjo, felt your fingers on my strings

I'd play the sweetest little song that a banjo e'er did

sing



If I were a drop of rain that trickled down you chin

I'd run right up and kiss your lips and kiss them twice

again



If I were a breath of wind on your cheeks as you walked

by

I'd pick you up upon my back and teach you how to fly



If I were a hair ribbon and my color it was blue

I'd be ten times as beautiful, cause I'd be wearing you



And if I were a big wool rug sitting in your front hall

I'd tickle your feet and make you laugh if you stepped on

me at all



If I were a featherbed... (whole verse repeated)
