- Some Old Salty

Words: Lal Waterson
Tune: Lal Waterson

Some old salty, how he used to rock me,
Jelly Roll or Jerry Lee, how he used to rock me

Salt fare, North Sea,
Weird stare. Further than the eye can see.
He had a head like a toy shop, bow legged stance off,
Must have been the rolling sea.

Some old salty, how he used to rock me,
Jelly Roll or Jerry Lee, how he used to rock me

Hull Fair waltzers, bopping to Brenda Lee
River boat jazz cruise, jiving to the Two-Nineteen

Some old salty, how he used to rock me,
Jelly Roll or Jerry Lee, how he used to rock me

Down there for dancing, come on Mr Chester please
Play “Delia’s Gone” for one more round, some old salty’s on his feet

Some old salty, how he used to rock me,
Jelly Roll or Jerry Lee, how he used to rock me

Salt fare, North Sea,
Weird stare. Further than the eye can see.
He had a head like a toy shop, bow legged stance off,
Must have been the rolling sea.

Some old salty, how he used to rock me,
Jelly Roll or Jerry Lee, how he used to rock me
