Papa Charlie Jackson Salty Dog Blues
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
