Make me down a pallet on your floor Make it soft babe, by the door When I'm broke and hungry – I got nowhere to go Make me down a pallet on your floor Been hanging round with them good time friends of mine Hanging round with them good time friends of mine When I had a dollar they'd treat me nice and kind Turned their back on me when I didn't have a dime Up the country in the cold sleet and snow Up the country in the cold sleet and snow I'm broke, cold and hungry – I got no place to go Won't you make me down a pallet on your floor Come tomorrow I'll be satisfied If I can catch that fast train and ride When I reach Atlanta and knock upon your door Won't you make me down a pallet on your floor Make me down a pallet on your floor Make it soft babe by the door When I'm broke and got nowhere to go Make me down a pallet on your floor
