Salty Dog Blues Lyrics

Says it ain't but the one thing : that grieve my mind
All these women : and none is mine

Says a little fish big fish : swimming in the water
Come on back here man : and give me my quarter

It's like hunting for a needle : in a bed of sand
Trying to find a woman : haven't got no man

Three barrels of your whiskey : four barrels of gin
Says I have a papa home : and you can't come in Says God made a woman : and he made her mighty funny
Kiss her on the mouth : just sweet as any honey

Now who in the *ham* : *and the confoundation*
Been sowing them potatoes : on my plantation

Now the scariest I ever been : in my life
Uncle caught me : kissing his wife

Now if this was a coffeepot : and that was a spout
I'll be the *worst* boy : to pour the coffee out
