[G] Let me be your [E] salty dog
[A] or I won't be your man at all.
[D] Honey let me be your salty
[G] dog.


Standing on the corner with the low down blues
Gret big hole in the bottom of my shoes
Honey, let me be your salty dog.


Look here gal, I know you
got a run in your stocking and a worn out shoes
Honey, let me be your salty dog.


I got a gal an' she's ten feet tall,
Sleeps in the kitchen with her head in the hall,
Honey, let me be your salty dog.


Two ol' ladies a-sittin' in the sand,
Each one a-wishin' the other was a man,
Honey, let me be your salty dog.


Said it ain’t but the one thing grieves my mind
All these women and none is mine
Honey, let me be your salty dog.


Just like hunting for a needle in a bed of sand
Trying to find a woman hasn’t got no man
Honey, let me be your salty dog.
