Lyrics and translation Mississippi John Hurt - Salty Dog

Salty Dog

You salty dog
Hey, hey, hey, you salty dog

Said, the big fish, little fish swimmin' in the water
Come back here, man, gimme my quarter

Says, God made a woman, he made 'em mighty funny
The lips 'round her mouth, just as sweet as any honey
Hey, hey, hey, you salty dog

Said, the scardest I ever was in my life
Uncle Bud like to caught me kissin' his wife
Hey, hey, you salty dog

[Incomprehensible]

You salty dog
Salty dog

Chien salé

Toi, chien salé
Hey, hey, hey, toi, chien salé

Il a dit, le gros poisson, le petit poisson nageant dans l'eau
Reviens ici, mec, donne-moi mon quart

Il dit, Dieu a fait une femme, il les a rendues très drôles
Les lèvres autour de sa bouche, aussi douces que du miel
Hey, hey, hey, toi, chien salé

Il a dit, j'ai jamais eu aussi peur de ma vie
Oncle Bud a failli me prendre à embrasser sa femme
Hey, hey, toi, chien salé

[Incompréhensible]

Toi, chien salé
Chien salé
