Salty Dog

G / A / D7 / G

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 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

 

Down in the wildwood sitting on a log

Finger on the trigger and an eye on the hog

 

Pulled the trigger and the gun set go

The shot fell over in Mexico

 

I got a gal she's ten feet tall

Sleeps in the kitchen with her feet in the hall

 

Two old maids, layin' in bed

One rolled over to the other and said –

 

Rooster at the hen house saying his prayers,

Thanking the Lord for the hens in there

 

 

Salty dog, salty dog

What in the world is a salty dog?

 

There’s a girl that lives up on the hill

She won’t do it, but her sister will
