Salty Dog Blues --- Trad.

 

[G]Standin’ on the corner with the [Em]low-down blues
[A7]Great big holes in the bottoms of my shoes
[D]Honey, let me [D7]be your Salty [G]Dog. 

[chorus] [G]Let me be your [Em]Salty Dog or
             [A7]I won’t be your man at all
             [D]Honey, let me [D7]be your Salty [G]Dog. 

[G]Look-a-here Sal, [Em]I know you
[A7]Run-down stockings ‘n worn-out shoes
[D]Honey, let me [D7]be your Salty [G]Dog. 

              [chorus]

[G]Down in the wildwood, [Em]sittin’ on a log
[A7]Finger on the trigger and an eye on the hog
[D]Honey, let me [D7]be your Salty [G]Dog. 

              [chorus]

[G]Pulled the trigger – the [Em]gun said: “Go”
[A7]Shot a feller in Mexico.
[D]Honey, let me [D7]be your Salty [G]Dog. 

[chorus] [G]Let me be your [Em]Salty Dog or
             [A7]I won’t be your man at all

             [D]Honey, let me [D7]be your Salty [G]Dog.
