Don't you never drive a stranger from your door
Never drive a stranger from your door
If he come to your home, got no place to go
Make him down a pallet on your floor
Baby, won't you make me down a pallet on your floor?
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make it soft and low, right behind your door
Make it where your husband never know
Oh, what make I love my baby so?
What make I love my baby so?
Tell me what make I love my baby so?
She make five dollars and she give me four
Honey babe, I certainly do love you, mmm
Honey baby, I certainly do love you, mmm
Honey baby, I certainly do love you
But I don't like that lowdown way you do
Don't you never drive a stranger from your door
Never drive a stranger from your door
If I come to your home, got no place to go
Make me down a pallet on your floor
