Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Well, make me a pallet, baby, 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 it soft and make it low
Make it where your good girl will never go

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

Well, I'm goin' up the country forty miles or more
I'm goin' up the country where the weather suits my clothes
Well, I'm goin' up the country where the weather suits my clothes
Ain't no tellin' how much further I may go

Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Well, make me a pallet, baby, make it soft and low
Make it where your good girl will never go

Now the way I've been sleepin', my back end sure gets tired
The way I'm sleepin', my back end sure gets tired
Well, the way I'm sleepin', my back end sure tired
Gonna turn over and try the other side
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Well, make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me a pallet, baby, down soft and low
Make me a pallet on your floor

Well, I wake up in the mornin' and cook you a real hot meal
Wake up in the mornin' and cook you a real hot meal
Just to show you, baby, that I appreciated
Every thing you've done for me

Make me down a pallet on your floor
Well, make me down, make me down a pallet on your floor
Well, make me down, make me a pallet, baby, make it soft and low
Make it where your good girl will never go
