My Man Jumped Salty On Me (02-01-39) |
Goin' down to the river, take a rope and a rock |
Tie it round my neck and jump off the dock |
'Cause my man he jumped salty on me |
Ain’t no one can change my mind |
I’ve been mistreated and I don’t mind dyin' |
'Cause that man jumped salty on me |
Gonna get me some poison, kill myself |
'Cause the man I love has put me on the shelf |
The dirty old viper jumped salty on me |
If he didn’t want me he didn’t have to lie |
The day I see him, that’s the day he’ll die |
'Cause that man jumped salty on me |
Baby you don’t know my mind |
Lord, Lord, Lord, Baby you don’t know my mind |
When you see me laughin', I’m laughin' just to keep from cryin' |
A crooked man’s worse than crooked dice |
With dice you lose your money, with men you lose your life |
Oh that fool jumped salty on me |
I’m gonna get me a razor and a gun |
Cut him if he stands still, shoot him if he runs |
'Cause that man jumped salty on me |
