Lyrics:


Chorus:
Let me be your salty dog
I don't wanna be your man at all
Honey, let me be your salty dog.

Standin' on the corner with the low-down blues,
A great big hole in the bottom of my shoes.
Honey, let me be your salty dog.
Chorus

Look here, Sal, I know you,
Run-down stockin' and a worn-out shoe.
Honey, let me be your salty dog.
Chorus

Down in the wildwood, sittin on a log
My finger on a trigger and my eye on a hog
Honey, let me be your salty dog.
Chorus

I pulled the trigger and the gun said go
The shot fell over in Mexico
Honey, let me be your salty dog.
Chorus

When God made a woman, He made her mighty funny
Lips 'round her mouth taste sweet as any honey
Honey, let me be your salty dog.
Chorus
I'm so glad the world's round lika a ball
There's enough pretty women here for us all
Honey, let me be your salty dog.
Chorus

The scaredest I've been in my life
Was when Uncle Bud nearly saw me kiss his wife,
Honey, let me be your salty dog.
Chorus

Lil' fish, big fish swimmin' in the water,
Come back here boy and marry my daughter,
Honey, let me be your salty dog.
Chorus

It's like lookin' for a needle in the sand,
Tryin' to find a woman that ain't got no man,
Honey, let me be your salty dog.
Chorus

Two old maids sittin' in the sand,
Each one wishin' that the other was a man,
Honey, let me be your salty dog.
Chorus

Just one thing I’ll never understand,
Why’s a bow-legged woman want a knock-kneed man?
Honey, let me be your salty dog.
Chorus
