I was born in a landslide
  In the jungle land
  I can play the piano
  with a funeral hand
  
  Ooh
  Salt in the Wound,
  Making me blue
  
  Ooh
  Salt in the Wound,
  Play me a tune
  
  Worked on a railroad
  Slept on a cot
  If you got what it takes
  Take what you got
  
  Ooh
  Salt in the Wound,
  Making me blue
  
  Ooh
  Salt in the Wound,
  Play me a tune
  
  Out on the north sea
  Where the waters are wild
  You live like a mad dog
  Like a ??? child
  
  Ooh
  Salt in the Wound,
  Making me blue
  
  Ooh
  Salt in the Wound,
  Play me a tune
  
  Play me a tune
  Play me a tune
  Play me a tune
  Play me a tune
