[Chorus]
Won't you let me be your salty dog
Don't want to be your man at all
You salty dog, you salty dog
[Verse 1]
Lord, it ain't but the one thing grieve my mind
All these browns and none is mine
You salty dog, mama, you salty dog
[Verse 2]
Says I'm going to the hoodoo to buy me a hand
Talkin' to the women, gonna bless these men
You salty dog, you salty dog
[Chorus]
Why don't you let me be your salty dog
Don't want to be your man at all
You salty dog, mama, you salty dog
[Verse 3]
Now the scaredest I ever been in my life
Uncle Bud like to caught me kissin' his wife
You salty dog, you salty dog
[Verse 4]
Says it ain't but the one thing I wanna live to see
I wanna see the woman picked all over me
Salty dog, mama, you salty dog
[Chorus]
Why don't you let me be your salty dog
Don't want to be your man at all
You salty dog, you salty dog
[Verse 5]
Said a little cat and a big cat [?]
Keep on talkin', gonna tell you long
You salty dog, mama, you salty dog
[Chorus]
Why don't you let me be your salty dog
Don't want to be your man at all
You salty dog, you salty dog
Honey babe, let me be your salty dog
You salty dog, mama, you salty dog
[Verse 6]
Said a little fish, big fish swimmin' in the water
Come on back here, man, and give me my quarter
You salty dog, you salty dog
[Verse 7]
Said if you're going to be a man, be a man like this
Save your money for Picnic Twist
You salty dog, mama, you salty dog
[Chorus]
Why don't you let me be your salty dog
Don't want to be your man at all
You salty dog, you salty dog
Oh honey babe, let me be your salty dog
You salty dog, mama, you salty dog
[Verse 8]
Said if you're going to be a man, be a man in full
Hitch him up in the wagon and make him pull
You salty dog, you salty dog
Oh honey babe, let me be your salty dog
You salty dog, mama, you salty dog
[Verse 9]
Said God made a woman and He made her mighty funny
Made lips round her mouth just sweeter than the honey
You salty dog, mama, you salty dog
Salty Dog Blues (Take 1) was written by Papa Charlie Jackson.
