Lyrics
Make me a pallet on your floor
Create a makeshift bed for me on the floor of your space
Make me a pallet on your floor
Reiteration of the request for a bed on the floor
If you make me a pallet
Expressing a condition that if the bed is provided
I swear you will never know
An assurance that the person requesting the bed will keep it a secret
That you made me a pallet on your floor
Stating the outcome of having a bed made on the floor
Make it soft make it easy
Requesting the characteristics of the bed to be soft and comfortable
Make it very long
Requesting the bed to be of considerable length
Make it soft make it easy
Reiteration of the request for a soft and easy bed
Make it very long
Reiteration of the request for a long bed
And when she comes in
Anticipation of someone's arrival
I swear that she will never know
An assurance that the arrival won't notice the provided bed
That you made me a pallet down upon your floor
Reiteration of the outcome of having the bed made on the floor
I'll get up in the morning
Commitment to doing something for the person after resting
Make you a red hot meal
Promise to prepare a satisfying meal in the morning
I'll get up in the morning
Reiteration of the commitment to prepare a meal
Make you a red hot meal
Reiteration of the promise to prepare a meal in the morning
Just to show pretty daddy
Expressing gratitude and acknowledgment towards the person
That I appreciate what you done for me
Stating the reason for preparing the meal - to show appreciation
When you made me that pallet down upon your floor
Reiteration of the outcome of having the bed made on the floor
Make it baby make it there on your kitchen floor
Requesting the bed to be made in a specific location - the kitchen floor
Make it baby make it there on your kitchen floor
Reiteration of the request for the bed on the kitchen floor
So when she come in the front door
Anticipation of someone's return through the front door
I know that she will never know
Assurance that the returnee won't notice the bed made on the floor
That you made me a pallet on your floor
Reiteration of the outcome of having the bed made on the floor
