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
