Palette on Your Floor

       C                      G
Lay me down a palette on your floor
       C                      G
Lay me down a palette on your floor
         Bm      C
Lay me a palette down soft and low
G               D              G
Lay it where my good gal won't know

Been sleepin, my back and shoulders tired
Been sleepin, my back and shoulders tired
The way I been sleepin my back and shoulders tired
Roll me over on the other side

chorus

Up the country, cold sleet and snow
Up the country, cold sleet and snow
I'm goin up the country, in the cold sleet and snow
No tellin how much further I may go

chorus

Don't let my good gal find you here
Don't let my good gal find you here
Or she may shoot you, may cut and stab you too
No telling what she might do

chorus

Clock strike midnight don't you know
Clock strike midnight don't you know
Clock strike midnight, I ain't goin home
Lay me a palette on your floor

chorus
