- Gillian Welch and partner/Producer David Rawlings perform at St Lukes for the BBC Four Sessions in 2007.
The song is Traditional with additional lyrics by Gillian Welch for her 2003 album Soul Journey.
From Wikipedia:
Make Me a Pallet on the Floor (also recorded as Make Me a Pallet on your Floor, Make Me a Pallet and Pallet on the Floor) is a blues/jazz/folk song now considered as a standard. The song's origins are somewhat nebulous and can be traced back to the 19th century. Various versions of the lyrics were first published in 1911 in an academic journal of ethnomusicology. Some sources attribute the modern score to W. C. Handy who later modified into a song known as Atlanta Blues.
The song's first recordings are by Mississippi John Hurt and Bunk Johnson.

David Rawlings guitar playing is sublime. Topped off with his softly voiced harmony, it all fits like a hand in a velvet glove with the lead vocals if Gillian Walsh. Ace!
Very well said
This song has been coming to me in my sleep...for the last 4 months
Gillian...you are a Legend......God Bless
There's this tiny moment around 2:05 or 2:06 where he gets the idea for where he's going -- how he's going to end the phrase -- just before he executes it, and he gets this tiny smile. Such a nice little moment for guitar players (and non-guitar players).
I didn't spot the smile.
Instant goosebumps. From the profound feeling Gillian finds deep within herself and shares with us. This is a song no one performs who does not love it. Love it so much that they have to put it out there. It's a BIG SONG, a work of natural genius from Mississippi John Hurt. A miracle, if the truth be told. And this is a fantastic version from Gillian and David. Praise the Lord and Amen.
This video was recorded a while ago. But I only just viewed it. The song was recorded by Mississippi John Hurt in 1928. If you listen to the original, as the song progresses, we learn a little more about what's going on, By the end you realize that it's about two lovers involved in an illicit affair trying to arrange a clandestine tryst. Though well executed, what we have here is a Whitewashed Pat Boone version.
This is some of the best lead guitar playing I've ever heard in this type of music.
Gorgeously rendered and uniquely so. Gillian's signing is devine; Rawlings accompaniment is so beautiful, beyond words.
Holy Moly! First time I've heard Gillian Welch, and yep - not the last. Wow, wow, wow!
hopefully you have all their albums by now, not one bad one among them. My favorite alternate old time duo, by far.
Welcome to the first day of the rest of your life sir! An endless trail of incredible songs to discover!
Their Music is Amazing, listen to more
just been listening to Mississippi John Hurt version
It says she wrote this song, but her version owes a debt to Mr. Hurt's song.
@@cityzen2717 WC Handy?
@@cityzen2717 Definitely, but it's from the 1800s and predates the Blues.
@@dougcortes6567 This is of course a traditional song which none of the above people can claim to have "written", though they each adapted it to their purposes!
Southern Appalachian Bluegrass: "Enchanting" !!
Its actually an old blues song.
Wow!!! Keep the music moving forward forward. I love this version...
Absolutely exquisitely beautiful.
Great version of one of my favorite songs. Gillian has such a beautiful voice. Doc Watson is my personal favorite! Love Mississippi John Hurt. The song has been covered by just about everyone. My good friend Huel Love does an awesome job with his Dobro and vocals!
I'll listen to Welch and Rawlings sing anything at any time but, pretty as this is, it totally lacks the heart of John Hurt or Doc Watson.
Visiting our grandparents and other family in Kentucky in the 60s and 70s...we slept on a pallet on the floor. :-)
Perfect vocal and instrumental harmony. Pretty incredible!!!
This is my favorite version of this classic song. I think Gillian captures the feel of the broke-down, weary blues perfectly. Just needing a place to sleep when you've got nothing left. If you've never been in that situation, you probably know somebody who has.
I just happened on this Welch / Rawlings collection by accident. I am transfixed and can't stop watching. By the way, I love Doc Watson just as much. Thanks Gillian and David.
Gillian Welch is a throwback to a previous era.
These two probably came out of the womb singing harmony with each other.
i've heard this old blues song done by, many, many artists, but these two are just perfect.
I love this! Music that soothes the savage beast...
nice to see people giving their own voice to the song. prob one of my favorite songs.
I love these two!!!!
I Had A Real Good Mother and Father.They taught me how to pray.
I saw Gillian Welch and David Rawlings sing and play this Song in Seattle Washington, in 2004 or 2005, I'm not sure the date, a packed house, Excellent Concert, and man David can play that Beautiful guitar, I like the song about the red clay
Beautiful her smile makes the world a better place!
One of my most favorite singers
Sublime indeed. Magical.
Great song. This is one of my favorite versions.
So nice!
I think I just melted...
Wow. Gorgeous music.
Sure miss Doc... Beautiful rendition by Gillian and David.
Oh my for sure. That subtle acknowledgement of you feeling like you know just what is going to please your uniquely refined ear. Luckily for us mere musical mortals we have documentations like this one to help us carry on the tradition of passing folk songs on to the next generation
Two gigantic talents. I can't stop listening. Thanks for posting such great sound too.They sold me two albums on E-music already, so keep it up. Fantastic albums!
The New Orleans clarinetist George Baquet said he heard Buddy Bolden perform this circa 1906.
Beautiful 💙
I'm pissed off when this song ends
Michael Joyce Just put it on repeat... and like it every time... just a hint. :-)
simply magnificent
Do many people know this phrase? My buddy from the south just used it
Never heard ot used up here in Minnesota
If you feel it, you feel it. The rest writes itself :)
See, this is the height of folk music: someone else whose name is probably lost to time wrote it, but she's lived it ten times or more and she sings it in a way that lets you know she did.
perfect thanks
I couldn't agree more
The song's first recordings are by Mississippi John Hurt and Bunk Johnson - not this version! but this is nice
Ottimo! d.
great!
YES!!
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 broke and I got nowhere to go
Been hanging 'round with a good-time friends of mine
Hanging around with a good-time friends of mine
Oh, they treat me very nice and kind
When I've got a dollar and a dime
We're in blues everywhere I see
We're in blues everywhere I see
We're in blues, honey, everywhere I see
No one ever had the blues like me
Way I'm sleeping, my back and shoulders tired
Way I'm sleeping, my back and shoulders tired
Come tomorrow, I'll be satisfied
If I can catch that fast train and ride
So, make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet on your floor
Make me down a pallet soft and low
Babe, I'm broke and I got nowhere to go
Songwriters: GILLIAN WELCH
This is a very old song. Look up Sam Chatmon here on RUclips. He describes it as a “blues type song”. These folks’ rendition of it is beautiful but is an adaptation that is not very close to the original song
david rawlings is the boss!
No one can sing this song better than sam champton
that guitar lick in 1:47 !!!!!!!
TOO BAD......What's TOO BAD? .....NOT many know this Major Talent!
Out fucking standing 👌
Massacred this song
You have no taste.
lord knows how i love doc and john
check out tom rush version
lord knosw gill and dave are too great
chek out the machine

This is originally a song called "Bob McKinney" by Henry Thomas.
we attribite it to john hurt , but.... anyway, love this gals singing..Robin, if you drop in to visit this video, get in touch with me ok?
Mississippi John Hurt...
👏
Obviously many of y'all have never heard of Southern Appalachian Bluegrass, which is what this is. Mississippi John Hurt is Delta Blues, and many others sing the song based on the region they're from. This version is based on the area they're from. Maybe if you knew a little bit about musical styles via geographic area you'd know this.
don't be a know it all AMANDA
Man, she's beautiful.
How does a Kali surfer girl from Santa Cruz ever become this?
Maybe listened and inspired by Kate Wolf?
@wartree -- yup, his is the standard bearer for me ...
5 souless people
No one's got the blues but me.
Her guitarist better keep a hand at the level of his eye... getting strong "Phantom" vibes 😆
Nope, it's a traditional tune used in many songs. For example W.C. Handy used it as a chorus in Atlanta Blues somewhere around 1916. The first one to record the song in this form is Mississippi John Hurt in 1928. Bob McKinney is a mix of many songs from the early 20th century.
W.C. Handy - Sara Martin
It's done totally differently, but check out Josh Buskirk's cover of her cover : )
26/12/2019: my back and shoulders are tired
21/08/2021: I've been here on my ownsome, and it's gotten lonesome
28/03/2022: I cancelled my trip to Montreal yesterday. some other time
This is fine, pretty version, but after listening to Sandy Denny sing it this version is a bit pale.
Isn't it obvious why people dislike this? As Simon Cowell (music expert) from the X Factor would say: "She just isn't the complete package". Her face has been on the wrong side of the pallet a couple times if ya know what I mean!?!
Lovely even though she said palace instead of pallet
She is lovely
If i'm correct it's a mississippi john hurt song
I still want to know who the bastards are that dislike videos as amazing as this
Xut up piece of shit ,this is not even music you big moron!
Just one of those songs.....I love Doc Watson & Mississippi John hurt Great job for a chick!
@rennyshelton I hope not the same womb, I believe they are married now.
For what it's worth, this is not karaoke. Great song but not karaoke.
Still trying to figure this comment out.
Simon Cowell music expert? ? Bah humbug!!
Doc watson stole this song from Sam Chatom and paraphrased its lyrics . Sam Chatom was an old hobo singer
This song was not Sam Chatoms to begin with. Sam literally says in his famous interview that this song inspired him to play guitar at the age of three.
they aint got no heart guitarr........let em hate
@abraham drimmer: really? you're going to bring race into this?
her squeeky clean, sanitized, uber-slick and utterly rhythmless. performance and re-working of the lyrics rob this song of all the soul, grit, and sexual innuendo that made it a standard to begin with
tripe
Check out the original version… A lot better edge I believe it’s Sam Compton
Not meaning any disrespect to Sam Compton but his wasn't the original version either. There were people playing it before him.. and since... including the above version. They all have their own sound and techniques which is why it's such a great song.
