Salty Dog

 By Robert W. Cluney


Down in the hills where I was born

Early on a frosty morn

Bakin' to fry, coffee to pore

My hound dog layin' by the door

 

Chorus

Salty Dog, Salty Dog

I called that hound dog

Salty Dog

 

Out in the woods settin' on a log

Listen to the bayin' of Salty Dog

He's up in the hollers

Got a coon up a tree

Salty Dog is a callin' me

 

Repeat Chorus

 

The hunts were long and time has passed

And Salty Dog has gone to rest

He's waitin' up there by the Heavenly Throne

Salty Dog is callin' to me
