Make Me Down Lyrics



A little rest for a spell

A little water from your well

A little shade from the shade of your door

That is all that I need

And I believe those might be

The truest words that I've ever said before



Hey make me down a pallet on your floor

Hey make me down a pallet on your floor

Just let me roll out my bed at the foot of your bed

And although I am hoping for more

That is all that I need

And I believe those might be

The truest words that I've ever said before



Hey make me down a pallet on your floor

Hey make me down a pallet on your floor

Somebody came and picked you up in a champagne

limousine

And tried to buy your love with stuff that he found in

a magazine

Remember us running through the stubble fields

That was just before the fold

Remember how loud that thunder was, how soft that bed

of straw

How soft that bed of straw

And I want you and that's all



I know that the big city lights

Are the kind that you like

And you dream of Detroit and New York

But just roll out my bed at the foot of your bed

And you'll know just what I'm dreaming for



That you'll make me down a pallet on your floor

That you make me down a pallet on your floor

Hey make me down

Make me down

Make me down

Make me down

Make me down a pallet on your floor



Hey make me down a pallet on your floor

Make me down

Make me down

Make me down

Make me down a pallet on your floor
