Salty Dog Blues
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Standin' on the corner with the lowdown blues
A great big hole in the bottom of my shoes
Honey let me be your salty dog
Let me be your salty dog but I won't be your man at all
Honey let me be your salty dog
[ banjo ]
Looky here Sal well I know you
Rundown stockin' and a worn out shoe
Honey let me be your Salty Dog
Let me be your salty dog...
[ fiddle ]
Down in the wildwood sittin' on a log
Finger on the trigger and eye on the hog
Honey let me be your Salty Dog
Let me be your salty dog...
[ banjo ]
Pulled the trigger and they said go
Shot fell over in Mexico
Honey let me be you Salty Dog
Let me be your salty dog...
[ fiddle ]
Let me be your salty dog...
