Grandpa's bed is sitting in the yard beside the rusted pick-up truck.

lyrics

Grandpa's bed is sitting in the yard
Beside the rusted pick-up truck
It's wet with last night's rain
My mother milks the cows
Donkey drags the plough
And I am in the house
I'm counting eggs awhile
The old bed lies down under the sky

All the bird nests in our trees are made
With thread where Grandpa laid his head
Feather in the air
My mother milks the cow
Donkey drags the plough
And I am in the house
I'm counting eggs awhile
The old bed lies down under the sky

When it's quiet and evening falls
I sit on Grandpa's bed and call the dogs
I know they won't come near the thing at all
My mother milks the cow
Donkey drags the plough
And I am in the house
I'm counting eggs awhile
The old bed lies down under the sky
