Sleeping At The Foot Of The Bed
Recorded by Little Jimmy Dickens
Written by Eugene Wilson and Luther Patrick

C
Did you ever sleep at the foot of the bed
         F                    C
When the weather was whizzing cold

When wind was whistling around the house
        D7                 G7  
And the moon was yeller as gold

    C
You give your good warm mattress up
        F                C  
To Aunt Lizzie and Uncle Fred
    F             C
Too many kinfolks on a bad night
        G7                      C
And you went to the foot of the bed

  
I could always wait till the old folks ate
    F                      C
And eat the leaving's with grace

The teacher could keep me after school
    D7                       G7
I'd still have a smile on my face

        C
I could wear the big boys worn out clothes
       F              C
Or let sister have my sled
       F                 C
But it always did get my nanny goat
   G7                       C
To sleep at the foot of the bed


It was fine enough when kinfolks come
        F                     C
And the kid brought brand new games
         
You could see how fat all the old folks was
    D7                   G7
And learn all the babies names

    C
Had biscuits and custard and chicken pie
   F              C
We all got Sunday fed
      F                     C
But I knowed darn well when night come
      G7                         C 
I was headed for the foot of the bed


They say some folks don't know what it is
       F                    C
Having company all over the place
   
To wrestle for cover on a winter night
       D7                       G7 
With a big foot setting in your face

   C
Or cold toenails a scratching your back
        F                         C
And the foot-board scrubbing your head
     F                        C 
I'll tell the world you ain't lost a thing
      G7                          C 
Never sleeping at the foot of the bed
 

I've done it over and over again
        F                         C 
In this land of the brave and the free

And in this all fired battle of life
     D7               G7
It's left its mark on me

    C
For I'm always a struggling around at the foot
        F           C
Instead of forging ahead
      F                              C
And I don't think it's caused from a doggone thing
    G7                          C
But sleeping at the foot of the bed
