G
 Standin on the corner with the low down blues 
A
 Great big hole in the bottom of my shoes 
D
 Honey let me be your Salty Dog. 
 
CHORUS 
G               E
 Let me be your Salty Dog 
   A
Or I won't be your man at all 
D
 Honey let me be your Salty Dog. 
G 
 Listen here Sal, well I know you 
A
 Run down stockin' and a worn out shoe 
D
 Honey let me be your Salty Dog. 
 
chorus 
G 
 Down in the wildwood sitting on a log 
A
 Finger on the trigger and eye on the hog 
D
 Honey let me be your Salty Dog. 
 
chorus 
G 
 Pulled the trigger and they said go 
A
 Shot fell over in Mexico 
D
 Honey let me be you Salty Dog.
