Connie Smith A-Sleepin' at the Foot of the bed Letras:
Well did you ever sleep at the foot of the bed
when the weather was whizzin' cold When the wind
was a howlin' round the house and the moon was
yeller as gold And you give your good warm
mattress up to Aunt Lizzie and Uncle Fred How too
many kinfolks on a bad night and you went to the
foot of the bed Well I could always wait till the
old folks ate and eat the leavin's with grace The
teacher could keep me after school I'd still have
a smile on my face I could wear the big girls'
wornout clothes or let sister have my sled But it
always did get my nanny goat to sleep at the foot
of the bed [ac.guitar]
It was fine enough when kinfolks come and the kid

brought brand new games You could see how fat all
the old folks was and learn all the babies' names
Had biscuits and custard and chicken pie we all
got Sunday fed But I always knew when nighttime
come I was headed for the foot of the bed Now they
say some folks don't know what it is havin'
company all over the place To rassle for cover on
a winter night with a big foot settin' in your
face Or cold toenails a scratchin' your back and
the footboard scrubbin' your head Well I'll tell
the world you ain't lost a thing never sleepin' at
the foot of the bed Well I've done it over and
over again in this land of the brave and the free
And in this all fired battle of life it's left its
mark on me For I'm always a strugglin' around at
the foot instead of forgin' ahead And I don't
think it's caused from a doggone thing But a
sleepin' at the foot of the bed
