Make me a pallet on your floor
Make me a pallet on your floor
Make it soft and low
And make it by the door
Make it so your parents will never know
Throw me a blanket and make it warm
Throw me a blanket and make it warm
I just don't think it's right
That I should freeze all night
Well you got a blanket wrapped around you several times
Leave room between your sheets for me
Leave room between your sheets for me
And if I lose control
It's because I'm on a roll
So don't try to slow me down
I ain't gonna be here long
Cause honey baby, you sure are fine
Oh honey baby, you sure are fine
And now I'm gone away
Where the women taste like wine
And I won't be back until the sweet old summertime
Gone where the climate suits my clothes
Gone where the climate suits my clothes
And I don't need a bed
Just a place to bury my head
I can walk on down instead
You know it's alright
Gonna do some things you'll never know
Gonna do some things you'll never know
The secrets that I hold
They must remain untold
But I wouldn't mistreat you for my waiting goal
Cause honey baby, you sure are sweet
Oh honey baby, you sure are sweet
Well you found another way
To make your sweetness pay
I found out the other day
But babe it's alright
Come on, all your good time friends and mine
Come on, all your good time friends and mine
Now you're all around
Because I'm doing so fine
But where were you when I only had a dime
Oh where were you?
Make me a pallet on your floor
Make me a pallet on your floor
And don't let it worry your mind
If I don't wake up no more
I've never slept before
It's gonna feel alright
