[Lyric] Make Me A Pallet On Your Floor (The Downstreamers)

[Chorus: All]
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me a pallet down soft and low
Lord, I'm broke and I've got nowhere to go

[Verse 1: Emma Kirby]
I'm going up the country through the cold sleet and snow
I'm going up the country through the cold sleet and snow
I'm going up the country through the cold sleet and snow
No telling how much further I might go

Lay a pillow from your feather bed
Lay that pillow from your feather bed
Lay that pillow from your feather bed
Lay it beneath my weak and weary head

[Chorus: All]
And make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make mе a pallet down soft and low
Make it wherе no one will ever know
[Verse 2: Hank Brainard]
These worried blues, they're everywhere I see
Worried blues are everywhere I see
Worried blues everywhere I see
No one's got the blues quite like me

I've been hanging 'round with some good time friends of mine
Hanging 'round with some good time friends of mine
They're good to me, yeah; they treat me nice and kind
When I ain't got a dollar or a dime

[Chorus: All]
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me a pallet down soft and low
I'm dead-ass broke and I got nowhere to go

[Verse 3: Matthew Boles]
Listen folks and please do not ignore
Never turn a strange man from your door
Never turn a strange man from your door
He might be your best friend, you never know

If I could hop up on that train and ride
If I could hop up on that there train and ride
I'd ride through Montgomery on through the night
Then I'd walk up to your door and be by your side
