I don't think the song linked to above it the one Catherine was asking for. She said she doesn't want the one that goes "Honey Let Me Be Your Salty Dog."

While I was in high school/college (circa 1964) I often square danced to a tune called Salty Dog Rag, which was different (both words and tune) from the one given above. It had a little more of a pop tune feel, I think, and less bluegrass or old-timey.

Sorry, Catherine, right now neither the tune nor the words will come back to me. But I heard it before I heard "Salty Dog Blues" and if anything comes back I'll let you know.
