G5
 Standin on the corner with the low down blues 
A5
 Great big hole in the bottom of my shoes 
D5
 Honey let me be your Salty Dog. 
 
CHORUS 
G5               E5
 Let me be your Salty Dog 
   A5
Or I won't be your man at all 
D5
 Honey let me be your Salty Dog. 
G5 
 Listen here Sal, well I know you 
A5
 Run down stockin' and a worn out shoe 
D5
 Honey let me be your Salty Dog. 
 
chorus 
G5 
 Down in the wildwood sitting on a log 
A5
 Finger on the trigger and eye on the hog 
D5
 Honey let me be your Salty Dog. 
 
chorus 
G5 
 Pulled the trigger and they said go 
A5
 Shot fell over in Mexico 
D5
 Honey let me be you Salty Dog.
