Standin' on the corner with the lowdown blues
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

[ mandolin ]

Now look here Sal I know you
Run down stockin' and a worn out shoe
Honey let me be your Salty Dog

Let me be your Salty Dog

[ banjo ]

Down in the wildwood sittin' on a log
Finger on the trigger and eye on the hog
Honey let me be your Salty Dog

Let me be your Salty Dog

[ mandolin ]

I pulled the trigger and they said go
Shot fell over in Mexico
Honey let me be you Salty Dog

Let me be your Salty Dog

[ banjo ]

Let me be your Salty Dog
