Let me be your salty dog I won't be your man at all
Honey let me be your salty dog
I can see you standing there I fust gotta stop and stare
Honey let me be your salty dog
If you'd only speak to me I'd be happy as could be
Honey let me be your salty dog
[ banjo ]
I can think of what to say you just make me feel that way
Honey let me be your salty dog
Let me be your salty dog I won't be your man at all
Honey let me be your salty dog
[ dobro ]
If you wanna see this boy jumping up and down for joy
Honey let me be your salty dog
Let me be your salty dog...
[ piano ]
I can't give you diamond rings but there's always other things
Honey let me be your salty dog
I can see you by my side if you'd only be my bride
Honey let me be your salty dog
[ banjo - dobro ]
Please don't leave me in the cold won't you take this band of gold
Honey let me be your salty dog
Let me be your salty dog...
