CIt was just some boards of rough cut pine
CAnd a quilt of patch work Gcotton
GA place to lay your body down

GDaddy built it out of pine
Two Cdays before the Gwedding
GThey say the neighbors cheered and hollered
A7Till his face got D7red
And GMama brought the feather pillows 
CAnd some handmade Gbedding
GAnd they spent their wedding night 
In that D7big four poster Gbed
GThat night they swore like that bed
Their Clove would last Gforever
GAnd they'd ask no more of life 
Than A7the simple things they D7had
So Gthey planed there future 
As Cthey laid close toGgether
GAnd later I was born there
