Discover the story of the song > Make Me a Pallet on Your Floor – Entrance

The protagonist is asking his partner to make a bed for him on the floor and keep it a secret from her parents. He wants her to give him a blanket to keep warm because he doesn't want to freeze all night. He tells her that he is leaving for a while and won't be back until summer, where he will go somewhere with a warmer climate. Despite his actions, he assures her that he still cares for her and thinks she is sweet. He then questions where she was when he was in need, but ultimately tells her that everything will be okay.
