Make  me down a pallet on your floor.
Make  me down...
 Make me  down a pallet down,  soft and low
 Make me  a pallet  on your floor.
Up  the country, where the cold, sleet and snow.
I'm  going up the country where the cold, sleet and snow.
 I'm going  up the country, where  the cold, sleet and snow.
 No tellin'  how much further  I may go.
 (Repeat 1st Verse)
 Don't you let  my good girl catch you here.
 Please Don't let  my good girl catch you here.
 Oh she,  might shoot you, liable  to cut and starve you too.
 No tellin' what  she might do.
 (Repeat 1st Verse)
 Make it baby,  close behind your door.
 Make it baby,  close behind the door.
 Make me  a pallet, close  behind the door.
 Make it  where your good  man will never go.
