My Man Jumped Salty on Me
Goin' down to the river, take a rope and a rockTie it round my neck and jump off the dock'Cause my man he jumped salty on meAin't no one can change my mindI've been mistreated and I don't mind dyin''Cause that man jumped salty on meGonna get me some poison, kill myself'Cause the man I love has put me on the shelfThe dirty old viper jumped salty on meIf he didn't want me he didn't have to lieThe day I see him, that's the day he'll die'Cause that man jumped salty on meBaby you don't know my mindLord, Lord, Lord, Baby you don't know my mindWhen you see me laughin', I'm laughin' just to keep from cryin'A crooked man's worse than crooked diceWith dice you lose your money, with men you lose your lifeOh that fool jumped salty on meI'm gonna get me a razor and a gunCut him if he stands still, shoot him if he runs'Cause that man jumped salty on me From Letras Mania
