ok this has been bugging me for years and I have not been able to stumble upon the answer. In the song Grandma's Feather Bed the lyrics go:
"It was made from the feathers of fourty'leven geese
took a whole bolt of cloth for the tick"
so my question is, what is "the tick" as it relates to a bed?
of course, if I google tick it brings up lots of links of the friendly little parasites we carry home after every outing
