Rosetta Crawford And Her Hep Cats My Man Jumped Salty On Me
February 1, 1939. Lyrics: 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 Lord 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 your man 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
