Lyrics for Salty Papa Blues

I've got a man He treats me like the rest I said I've got a man Treats me like the rest He gets me so worried I don't know where I'm at Papa why you so salty Why do you bring me down? Hmm, I said papa why you so salty Why do you bring me down? There's no complaint When my other man comes around When I give you all my lovin' You say I wear you out When I give you none at all You say you can't do without I ain't aghast with you You need a different kind Go get a fortune-telling woman Who knows how to read your mind
