- 10 - Make Me a Pallet On Your Floor - 2013 - Avalon A Tribute to Mississippi John Hurt
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet soft and low
When I'm broken I got nowhere to go
Been hangin' around with a good time friends of mine
Hangin' around with a good time friends of mine
Oh, they treat me very nice and kind
- God's Gift to Women
Let me tell you now
I don't want no handsome man
Cause he won't treat me right
Lord always flirtin', cheatin'
Stayin' out half the night
Lord everybody wants him
- Terraplane Blues
And I feel so lonesome, you hear me when I moan
When I feel so lonesome, you hear me when I moan
Who been drivin' my Terraplane1, for you since I been gone.
I'd said I flash your lights, mama, you horn won't even blow
(spoken: Somebody's been runnin' my batteries down on this machine)
I even flash my lights, mama, this horn won't even blow
Got a short in this connection, hoo well, babe, it's way down below
- Weepin Willow Blues
I went down to the river, sat beneath the willow tree;
The dew dropped on those willow leaves and it rolled right down on me,
And that's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues.
I went up on the mountain, high as any girl could stand,
And looked down on the mean town that took away my lovin' man,
And that's the reason I've got those weepin' willow blues.
