Walking the dog (Original: Rufus Thomas)

Lyrics

Mary Mag, dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
High, low, tipsy toe
She broke a needle, she can't sew

Walkin' the dog
Just walkin' the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog

Oh, come on now

Asked my mother for fifteen cents
See the elephant jumped the fence
He jumped so high he touched the sky
Never got back 'til the Fourth of July

Walkin' the dog
Just walkin' the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog

Mary, Mary, quite contrary
Tell me, how does your garden grow?
You've got silver bells, you've got cockle shells
Pretty maids all in a row

Walkin' the dog
Just walkin' the dog
If you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog

Come on now
Whoa yeah
Just-a, just-a, just-a walkin'
Just-a walkin'
Whoa yeah
Just-a, just-a, just-a walkin'
Just-a walkin'

Well, if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog

Whoa yeah
Just-a, just-a, just-a walkin'
Just-a walkin'
Whoa yeah
Just-a, just-a, just-a walkin'
Just-a walkin'

Well, if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
