Jim wants bluegrass today, so I found this one. "Salty Dog Blues" was written by Wiley and Zeke Morris, and here we have Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, and the Foggy Mountain Boys’ cover of it. Take it away, guys…
Standin’ on the corner with the lowdown 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
Listen here Sal, well I know you
Rundown stockin’ and a worn out shoe
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
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
Or I won’t be your man at all
Honey, let me be your salty dog
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
Or I won’t be your man at all
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
