Salty Dog

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.

Standing 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

Or I won't be your little man at all

Honey let me be your salty dog

Look it here Sal, I know you

Run down stocking and a wore out shoe

Honey let me be your salty dog

Let me be your salty dog

Or I won't be your little man at all

Honey let me be your salty dog

Down in the wildwood sitting on a log

Finger on the trigger and an eye on the hog

Honey let me be your salty dog

Let me be your salty dog

Or I won't be your little man at all

Honey let me be your salty dog

Well I Pulled the trigger and the gun set go

The shot gun over in Mexico

Honey let me be your salty dog

Let me be your salty dog

Or I won't be your little man at all

Honey let me be your salty dog

Salty down now

Let me be your salty dog

Or I won't be your little man at all

Honey let me be your salty dog

Let me be your salty dog

Or I won't be your little man at all

Honey let me be your salty dog
