Verses from versions by Sam Chatmon, Mississippi John Hurt, Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams, Doc Watson

lyrics

Make me down a pallet on your floor x2
Make me down a pallet soft and low
Make it so your good man will never know

Chords:
A –Edim7 E E7 / A7 –Edim7 E – / E G#dim7 A D#dim7 / E F#7B7 EA EE7

Don’t ever drive a stranger from your door x3
He may be your best friend you don’t know

Get my breakfast here, my dinner in Tennessee x3
I told ya I was coming so you better look for me

(Up the country in the cold sleet and snow x2
Going up the country where the weather suits my clothes
No telling how much further I may go)

Been hanging around with some good time friends of mine (x2)
Whoa they treat me very nice and kind
When I got a dollar and a dime

Make me down a pallet on your floor x2
Make it over close behind the door
make it where your good man will never go
