Notes

Played by the Black Mountain Boys on the 7th March 1964.

At the Black Mountain Boys show Garcia introduces the song by suggesting that anyone taping the show to make a bluegrass tape should switch off their machines. The lyrics used are as follows;

Come all you good time friends of mine
Come all you good time friends of mine
When I had a dollar you treated me just fine
[Where ya] go when I only had a dime

Make me a pallet on your floor
Make me a pallet on your floor
Make it long, make it low, [?] [never know]
Make me a pallet on your floor

These blues is everywhere I see
These blues is everywhere I see
Blues everywhere around me, they're everywhere I see
Nobody's having blues like me

Make me a pallet on your floor
Make me a pallet on your floor
Make it long, make it low, [?] [never know]
Make me a pallet on your floor

Make me a pallet on your floor
Make me a pallet on your floor
Make it long, make it low, [?] [never know]
Make me a pallet on your floor
