Salty Dog Blues

Standing on a corner with the low down blues.
A great big hole in the bottom of my shoes.
Honey let me be your salty dog.
[Chorus]
Let me be your salty dog,
Or I won't be your man at all.
Honey let me be your salty dog.
Listen here Sal, well I know you,
A run down stocking and a worn out shoe.
Honey let me be your salty dog.
Down in the wildwood sitting on a log.
Finger on the trigger and an eye on the hog.
Honey let me be your salty dog.
Pulled the trigger and the gun said go.
The shot fell over in Mexico.
Honey let me be your salty dog.

John Hardy

John Hardy was a desperate little man.
He carried two guns every day.
He shot down a man on the West Virginia line.
You otta seen John Hardy gettin' away.
You otta seen John Hardy gettin' away.
John Hardy stood in that old barroom.
So drunk that he could not see.
And the man came up and took him by the arm.
Said, "Johnny, won’t you come along with me.
Oh Johnny, won’t you come along with me.”
Well Johnny stood in his old jail cell,
Tears running from his eyes.
He said, "I've been the death of many a poor boy.
But my six guns never told a lie.
Lord, my six guns never lied.
"I've been to the East and I've been to the West,
I've traveled this wide world around,
I've been to that river and I've been baptized,
So won’t you take me to my burial ground,
Oh won’t you take me to my burial ground."
John Hardy was a desperate little man,
He carried two guns every day.
He shot down a man on the West Virginia line.
You otta seen John Hardy getting away.
You otta seen John Hardy getting away.
