[4] Honey make me down a pallet on your [1] floor
[4] Make me down a pallet on your [5] floor
[1] Honey [3maj⁷] make it down [4] make it soft and low
[1] Then maybe my [4] good gal [5] she won't [1] know

I'm goin' up the country through the sleet and snow
Goin' up the country through the sleet and snow
I'm goin' up the country through the sleet and snow
Ain't no telling just how far I'll go

I get my breakfast here and my dinner in Tennessee
Get breakfast here and my dinner in Tennessee
Get my breakfast here and my dinner in Tennessee
I told you I was a-comin' so you'd better look for me

Honey I can't lay down on your bed
You know that I can't lay down on your bed
Yes you know that I can't lay down across your pretty bed
'Cause my good woman she might kill me dead

And don't you let my good gal catch you here
No don't you let my good gal catch you here
If you do she might shoot you cut and stab you too
Ain't no tellin' what all she might do

Now the way I've been sleepin' my back and shoulders tired
The way I've been sleepin' my back and shoulders' tired
The way I've been sleepin' my back and shoulders' tired
Thinking gonna turn over try sleepin' on my side
