Walking the Dog - Rufus Thomas

Baby back, dressed in black

Silver buttons all down her back

High hose, tippy toes

She broke the needle and she can sew

Walking the dog, I’m just a-walking 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)

I asked her mother for fifteen cents

I see you ever jumped the fence

I jumped so high, touched the skies

Didn’t get back 'til a quarter to five

Walking the dog, I’m just a-walking the dog

If you don’t know how to do it, I’ll show you how to walk the dog

(C'mon, c’mon now)

Tell me mary, what’s your twelve?

How does your garden grow?

What with silver bells and cockle shells?

And pretty maids all in a row?

Walking the dog, I’m just a-walking 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)

Baby back, dressed in black

Silver buttons all down her back

High hose, tippy toes

She broke the needle and she can sew

Walking the dog, I’m just a-walking 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)

Yeah j-j-j-j-just a walking

Uh j-j-j-j-just a walking

Uh j-j-j-j-just a walking

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

(C'mon now, c’mon)

If you don’t know how to do it, I’ll show you how to walk the dog

(C'mon now)

If you don’t know how to do it, I’ll show you how to walk the dog
