Walking The Dog Lyrics By Rufus Thomas

    mary mac dressed in black
    silver buttons all down her back
    high to low tip to toe
    she broke a needle and she can’t sew

    walkin’ the dog
    just awalkin’ the dog
    if you don’t know how to do it
    i’ll show you how to walk the dog
    whistle
    c’mon now c’mon c’mon

    asked my mama for fifteen cents
    see the elephant jump the fence
    he jumped so high he touched the sky
    never got back till the fourth of july

    walkin’ the dog
    just awalkin’ the dog
    if you don’t know how to do it
    i’ll show you how to walk the dog
    c’mon now c’mon c’mon

    baby baby quite contrary
    tell me how does your garden grow
    you got silver bells and you got cockle shells
    pretty maids all in a row

    walkin’ the dog
    just awalkin’ the dog
    if you don’t know how to do it
    i’ll show you how to walk the dog
    c’mon now c’mon c’mon

    oh ho
    justa justa just awalkin’
    justa justa just awalkin’
    justa justa just awalkin’
    oh yeah
    if you don’t know how to do it
    i’ll show you how to walk the dog
    ohh
    justa justa justa justa just awalkin’
    justa justa justa justa just awalkin’

    ohh
    justa justa justa justa just awalkin’
    justa justa justa justa just awalkin’
