Won't you let me be your salty dog
Don't want to be your man at all
You salty dog, you salty dog
Lord, it ain't but the one thing grieve my mind
All these browns and none is mine
You salty dog, mama you salty dog
Says I'm going to the hoodoo to buy me a hand
Talkin' to the women gonna bless these men
You salty dog, ah you salty dog
Why don't you let me be your salty dog
Don't want to be your man at all
You salty dog, mama you salty dog
Now the scaredest I ever been in my life
Uncle Bud like to caught me kissin' his wife
You salty dog, ah you salty dog
Says it ain't but the one thing I want to live to see
I want to see the woman picks all over me
You salty dog, mama you salty dog
Why don't you let me be your salty dog
Don't want to be your man at all
You salty dog, ah you salty dog
Said little cat and a big cat [swimmin' this song]
Keep on talkin' gonna tell you long
You salty dog, mama you salty dog
Why don't you let me be your salty dog
Don't want to be your man at all
You salty dog, ah you salty dog
Honey babe, let me be your salty dog
You salty dog, mama you salty dog
Said little fish and a big fish, swimmin' in the water
Come on back here, man, and give me my quarter
You salty dog, ah you salty dog
Said if you're going to be a man, be a man like this
Save your money for a Picnic Twist[*]
You salty dog, mama you salty dog
Why don't you let me be your salty dog
Don't want to be your man at all
Salty dog, mama you salty dog
Ah honey babe, let me be your salty dog
You salty dog, mama you salty dog
Said if you're going to be a man, be a man in full
Hitch your monkey in the wagon and make him pull
You salty dog, ah you salty dog
Oh honey babe, let me be your salty dog
You salty dog, mama you salty dog
Said God made a woman and he made her mighty funny
Made lips round her mouth just sweet as any honey
You salty dog, mama you salty dog
