It was just some boards of rough cut pine and a quilt of patch work cotton
A place to lay your body down was that big four poster bed
Daddy built it out of pine two days before the wedding
They say the neighbours cheered and hollered till his face got red
And Mama brought the feather pillows and some handmade bedding
And they spent their wedding night in that big four poster bed
That night they swore like that bed their love would last forever
It was just some boards of rough cut pine and a quilt of patch work 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
Clouds and chasing rainbows was that big four poster bed
I remember as a child waking up on a winter morning
Cause only love has ever touched, that big four poster bed
Chorus
