Make Me a Pallet on Your Floor

Gillian Welch · Soul Journey [2003]

Make me down a pallet on your floor

Make me down a pallet on your floor

Make me down a pallet soft and low

When I'm broken I got no where to go.



Been hangin' around with a good time friends of mine

Hangin' around with a good time friends of mine

Oh, they treat me very nice and kind

When I've got a dollar and a dime.



We're in blues everywhere I see

We're in blues everywhere I see

We're in blues, honey, everywhere I see

No one ever had the blues like me.



Way I'm sleepin', my back and shoulders tired

Way I'm sleepin', my back and shoulders tired

Come tomorrow, I'll be satisfied

If I can catch that fast train and ride.



So, make me down a pallet on your floor

Make me down a pallet on your floor

Make me down a pallet soft and low

Babe, I'm broken, I got no where to go...
