Artist: Brenda Lee
[C]It was just some boards of rough cut pine
[C]And a quilt of patch work [G]cotton
[G]A place to lay your body down
Was that [D7]big four poster [G]bed
[G]Daddy built it out of pine
Two [C]days before the [G]wedding
[G]They say the neighbors cheered and hollered
[A7]Till his face got [D7]red
And [G]Mama brought the feather pillows
[C]And some handmade [G]bedding
[G]And they spent their wedding night
In that [D7]big four poster [G]bed
[G]That night they swore like that bed
Their [C]love would last [G]forever
[G]And they'd ask no more of life
Than[A7] the simple things they [D7]had
So [G]they planed there future
As [C]they laid close to[G]gether
[G]And later I was born there
In that [D7]big four poster [G]bed
It was [C]just some boards of rough cut pine
[C]And a quilt of patch work [G]cotton
A [C]place to lay your [G]body down
A [A7]place to rest your [D7]head
[C]A field of fluffy mountains
[C]For a little girl to [G]hide in
[G]Clouds and chasing rainbows
Was that [D7]big four poster [G]bed
[G]I remember as a child waking up
[C]On a winter [G]morning
[G]With Sound of laughing voices
And [A7]the smell of baking [D7]bread
And [G]running across that coal wood floor
[C]Jumping there with [G]them
[G]And Lord I felt so safe and warm
In that [D7]big four poster [G]bed
[G]The day that daddy died
He [C]whispered something soft to [G]mama
[G]To this day she's never told a soul
[A7]The words he [D7]said
She [G]just smiled through her tears
And [C]held his hand and [G]nodded
And my daddy looked so much at rest
In that [D7]big four poster [G]bed
[G]Now time has dried up all the tears
[C]Here I stand a [G]woman
[G]Your arms reach out to touch my soul
Your [A7]sweet words turn my [D7]head
Darling [G]won't you tell me first
[C]This will be [G]forever
[G]Before you lead me up the stairs
To that [D7]big four poster [G]bed
[G]Cause only love has ever touched
That [D7]big four poster [G]bed
[C]And a quilt of patch work [G]cotton
[G]A place to lay your body down
