Up the country, where there cold sleet and snow
I'm goin' up the country, where there cold sleet and snow

No tellin' what she might do

Make it, sweet baby, close behind the door
Make it, where nobody'll never go

Just make me down (guitar finishes line)
(Guitar finishes refrain)

Make me down, pallet on your floor
Make me down (guitar finishes line)
Make me a pallet, down, soft and low
Make me a pallet on your floor
