Make me a bed right down on your floor
Make me a bed right down on your floor
I'll lay my head in a bed on your floor

I'm a poor lonesome boy
I'm a long ways from home
I'm a poor lonesome boy
I'm a long ways from home
I'll lay my head in a bed on your floor

Clock strikin' midnight and daylight to go
Well, clock strikin' midnight and daylight to go
I'll lay my head in a bed on your floor

Sheriff's on my trail with a big forty-four
Well, the sheriff's on my trail with a big forty-four
I'll lay my head in a bed on your floor

Bed on the floor baby bed on the floor
Make me a bed right down on your floor
I'll lay my head in a bed on your floor

Poor lonesome boy
I'm a long ways from home
I'm a poor lonesome boy
I'm a long ways from home
I'll lay my head right down on your floor

Of note:

Several botched lyrics here also. But a well-performed old-time flavor that doesn't annoy or grate.
