SALTY DOG
Mississippi John Hurt


(spoken: "Salty Dog")
Hey-hey, you salty dog
Hey-hey-hey, you salty dog

Said, the little fish, big fish swimmin' in the water
Come back, man, and gimme my quarter
Hey-hey-hey, you salty dog

Said, the scaredest I ever was in my life
Uncle Bud like to caught me kissin' his wife
Hey-hey, you salty dog

Says, God made woman, made 'em mighty funny
The lips 'round her mouth, just as sweet as any honey
Hey-hey, you salty dog

Hey-hey, you salty dog
Hey-hey-hey, you salty dog

(spoken: Well!)
Well, little fish, big fish swimmin' in the water
Come back here, man, gimme my quarter
Hey-hey-hey, you salty dog
