Rufus Thomas - Walking the Dog Lyrics

Baby's back, dressed in black
Silver buttons all down her back
High, low, tipsy toe
She broke a needle and 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 te dog

Asked a fellow for fifteen cents
See the fellow he jumped the fence
Jumped so high he touched the sky
Never got back till 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

Come on now, come on, come on

Mary, Mary, quite contrary
Tell me, how does your garden grow?
You got silver bells and you got cockleshells
Pretty maids all in a row

Walking the dog
Just a walkin' the dog
If you don't know how to do it
Show you how to walk the dog

Come on now, come on, come on
Oh oh, just a, just a, just a walkin'
Just a, just a, just a walkin'
Just a, just a, just a walkin'

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

Just a, just a, just a, just a, just a, just a walkin'
Just a, just a, just a, just a, just a, just a walkin', oh
