Walking The Dog
by Rufus Thomas 
recording of 1997 
from 
Journey On (Minor 84172) 
Baby's back, dressed in black 
Silver buttons, all down her back 
High, low, tippytoe 
She broke the needle and she can't sew 
Walking the dog 
Walking the dog 
And if you don't know how to do it 
I will show you how to walk the dog 
Asked my mother for 15 cents 
See the elephant jump the fence 
Jumped so high, he touched the sky 
Never came down until the 4th of July 
Walking the dog 
Walking the dog 
And if you don't know how to do it 
I will show you how to walk the dog 
Baby baby, watch your trail 
How does your garden grow 
You got silver bells, and you got cockle shells 
Pretty maids all in a row 
Walking the dog 
Walking the dog 
And if you don't know how to do it 
I will show you how to walk the dog
