Mississippi John Hurt Make Me a Pallet on Your Floor

Make me a pallet1 on your floor
Make me a pallet on your floor
Make it soft, make it low,
so my good gal will never know
Make me a pallet on your floor

I'd be more than satisfied,
if I could reach that train and ride
If I reach Atlanta with no place to go,
make me a pallet on your floor

Gonna give everybody my regards,
even if I have to ride the rods
If I reach Atlanta with no place to go,
make me pallet on your floor
