The Rolling Stones covered this in 1964. WALKING THE DOG As recorded by Rufus Thomas, 1963. Mary Mack, dressed in black Silver buttons all down her back How low, tipsy toe She broke the needle and she can't sew CHORUS: Walkin' the dog, just a-walkin' the dog, If you don't know how to do it, I'll show you how to walk the dog. Asked my mama for fifteen cents To see the elephant jump the fence He jumped so high he touched the sky Never got back till the fourth of July Mary, Mary, quite contrary Tell me, how does your garden grow? You got silver bells and you got cockle shells And pretty maids all in a row
