FMake me down a Fpallet on your Cfloor, C
CMake E7me a Ampallet on your Fm6floor,
CMake it so your D7man will G7never Cknow.
Make it where no one will ever go.
So I can sleep when I got no where to go.
When I'm broke and got no where else to go.
Now make me one bunk upside your wall,
Now make me one bunk upside your wall,
I want you to make me down, one bunk upside your wall,
Make it just as long as I am tall,
Make it baby close behind your door,
Make it baby close behind your door,
Make it soft, make it low,
Make it where your good gal never go.
Don't you drive a stranger from your door,
He may be you best friend. You don't know.
Take one pillow off your feather bed,
And put it on your loving daddy's head.
He's a constant man and he just don't know the town,
He done stole his cotton now he is walking round.
Just make him down a pallet on your floor,
And tell him that the fields can raise some more.
Going up the country forty miles or more,
Going up the country where the weather suits my clothes,
Going up the country where the weather suits my clothes,
Aint no telling how much farther I might go.
Get my dinner here, breakfast in Tennesee,
I'll get up in the morning and cook you a nice hot meal
Just to show you I appreciate all you've done for me.o
The way I've been sleeping my back sure is tired,
Gonna roll on over, sleep on the other side.
Going up north where there's cold sleet and snow,
And there aint no one to tell me where I can go.
