Make Me A Pallet

Oh, make me down a pallet on your floor

Make me down a pallet on your floor

Honey, make it down, make it soft and low

Then maybe my good gal she won't know

I'm goin' up the country through the sleedin' snow

Up the country through the sleedin' snow

I'm goin' up the country through the sleedin' snow

Ain't no telling just how far I'll go

I get my breakfast and my dinner in Tennessee

My breakfast to my dinner in Tennessee

My breakfast here and my dinner in Tennessee

I told you I's a-comin', better look for me

So, make me down a pallet on your floor

Make me down a pallet on your floor

Honey, make it down, make it soft and low

Then maybe my good gal she won't know

Now, honey, I can't lay down on your bed

Honey, I can't lay down on your bed

Yeah, you know I can't lay across your pretty bed

'Cause if I did my woman she might shoot me dead

And don't you let my good gal catch you here

And don't you let my good gal catch you here

She might shoot you, cut and stomp you too

Ain't no tellin' what all she might do

So, make me down a pallet on your floor

Make me down a pallet on your floor

Honey, make it down, make it soft and low

Then maybe my good gal she won't know

Yeah, the way I been sleepin' my back and shoulders' tired

Yeah, the way I been sleepin' my back and shoulders' tired

The way I been sleepin' back and shoulders' tired

Think I'm goin' turn over, try sleepin' on my side

So, make me down a pallet on your floor

Make me down a pallet on your floor

Honey, make it down, make it soft and low

Then maybe my good gal she won't know

Yeah, maybe my good gal she won't know
