Walkin' The Dog
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Mary Mac, dressed in black
silver buttons all down her back
how low can she go
she broke the needle, and she can't sew
Chorus
Walkin' the dog
Whoa walkin' the dog
Now if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog
Asked my mama for fifty cents
see the elephant jump the fence
jumped so high, he hit the sky
never got back 'til the forth of July.
Repeat Chorus
Mary Mary, quite contrary
how do your garden grow
you got 'a silver bells, cockle shells
pretty maids all in a row.
Repeat Chorus
Repeat 2nd verse
Jid-a did-a lid-a lid-a walking
Jid-a did-a lid-a lid-a walking
(something like that...)
Now if you don't know how to do it
I'll show you how to walk the dog.
