Salty Dog Blues - für Margot

Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs

Salty Dog Blues

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

Let me be your salty dog
Or I won't be your man at all
Honey, let me be your salty dog

Now look-a hear, Sal, I know you
A run-down stockin' and a worn-out shoes
Honey, let me be your salty dog

* Refrain

I was down in the wildwood sittin' on a log
Finger on the trigger and an eye on the hog
Honey let me be your salty dog

* Refrain

I pulled the trigger and the gun said go
Shot fell over in Mexico
Honey let me be your salty dog

* Refrain
