Salty Dog Blues

“Salty Dog Blues” is a traditional American folk/blues song that became widely known in the early 20th century. The tune has been adapted in many musical styles — folk, blues, jazz, country, and especially bluegrass. The song comes from oral folk traditions, especially in the Southern United States, and was known in African American musical circles before the first commercial recording. Versions of the lyrics were documented as early as 1911 in folk song collections. The phrase “salty dog” has multiple interpretations in folk/slang: • It could mean a seasoned sailor — someone with salt in his hair from the sea. • It was also slang for a promiscuous or lustful man in blues contexts, suggesting a partner who’s a bit wild or experienced. • In some interpretations, it’s used affectionately for a lover or close friend.
