Make me a pallet on your floor

Make me a pallet on your floor

When I reach Atlanta and have no place to go

Make me a pallet on your floor

These blues are everywhere I see

Weary blues are everywhere I see

Blues all around me, everywhere I see

Nobody's had these blues like me

Chorus:

Make me a pallet…

Come all you good-time friends of mine

Come all you good-time friends of mine

When I had a dollar you treated me just fine

Where'd you go when I only had a dime

Chorus:

Make me a pallet…

I'd be more than satisfied

If I could catch a train and ride

When I reach Atlanta and have no place to go

Won't you make me a pallet on your floor

Chorus:

Make me a pallet…
