Lyrics Salty Papa Blues - Dinah Washington

I've got a man
He treats me like the rest
I said I've got a man
Treats me like the rest

He gets me so worried
I don't know where I'm at
Papa why you so salty
Why do you bring me down?

Hmm, I said papa why you so salty
Why do you bring me down?
There's no complaint
When my other man comes around

When I give you all my lovin'
You say I wear you out
When I give you none at all
You say you can't do without

I ain't aghast with you
You need a different kind
Go get a fortune-telling woman
Who knows how to read your mind
