Make Me A Pallet On Your Floor

Mississippi John Hurt

Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down
Make me a pallet down soft and low
Make me a pallet on your floor

Up the country forty miles or more
I'm goin up the country while there's cold sleet and snow
I'm goin up the country while there's cold sleet and snow
No telling how much further I may go

Just make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down
Make me a pallet down soft and low
Make me a pallet on your floor

Well, sleeping, my back and shoulders tired
oh, I'm sleeping, my back and shoulders tired
Oh, the way I'm sleeping my back and shoulders tired
Gonna turn round and try it on the side.

Oh make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down
Make me a pallet down soft and low
Make me a pallet on your floor.

Don't you let my good girl catch you here
Don't you let my good girl catch you here.
Oh she might shoot you, might cut and starve you too.
No tellin what she might do

Oh make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down
Make me a pallet down soft and low
Make me a pallet on your floor.

Make it baby close behind your door
Make it baby close behind your door
Make me a pallet close behind your door
Make it where your good man'll never go.

Oh make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down
Make me a pallet down soft and low
Make me a pallet on your floor.
