| Make Me a Pallet on the Floor
|
| Who’s there?
|
| It’s me, honey!
|
| Get away from that door, get away from there!
|
| Cruel daddy, please let me in
|
| Say, broad, you got any money?
|
| I ain’t got a cent to my name
|
| Get away from there! |
| Get away from there!
|
| Daddy, I’m so hungry I been out in the front yard eatin' that short grass
|
| Well, broad, that’s too bad, really too bad you been out in the front yard
|
| eatin' that short grass. |
| Go in the back yard where it’s longer
|
| Um-hmm, that’s all right. |
| Remember, I knew you when you couldn’t eat,
|
| and you wasn’t sick. |
| So won’t you listen to what I’ve got to say?
|
| Well, hurry up, broad, I ain’t got but a few minutes!
|
| I’ve roamed this town
|
| Till my feet are sore;
|
| I’m out and down
|
| That’s why I’m at your door
|
| Won’t you take me back, please, honey, do
|
| But if you don’t want me no more
|
| Here’s all I ask of you:
|
| Don’t drive me, honey, from your door
|
| Just make me a pallet on the floor;
|
| Why, any kind of bed, so I can rest my weary head;
|
| Oh, please take me in your arms once more
|
| I’m just a lonesome rollin' stone
|
| So tired of being all alone
|
| If it’s for only one night, please, I ask you on my knees
|
| To make me a pallet on the floor |
