Rufus Thomas - Walking the Dog (1963)


From the album Walking the Dog in 1963



LADY MAC DRESSED IN BLACK
SILVER BUTTONS ALL DOWN HER BACK
HELLO TIPSY TOE
SHE BROKE THE NEEDLE AND SHE CAN'T SOW

chorus;
WALKING THE DOG
JUST A WALKING THE DOG
IT YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT
I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO WALK THE DOG

ASKED MY MAMA FOR FIFTEEN CENTS
SEE THE ELEPHANT JUMP THE FENCE
HE JUMPED SO HIGH HE TOUCHED THE SKY
NEVER GOT BACK 'TILL THE FORTH OF JULY

chorus

MARY MARY QUITE CONTRARY
TELL ME HOW YOUR GARDEN GROWS
YOU GOT SILVER BELLS AND YOU GOT COCKTAIL SHELLS
PRETTY MAIDS ALL IN A ROW

chorus

OH OH
JUST A JUST A JUST A WALKING
JUST A JUST A JUST A WALKING
JUST A JUST A JUST A WALKING



IF YOU DON'T KNOW HOW TO DO IT
I'LL SHOW YOU HOW TO WALK THE DOG

JUST A JUST A JUST A JUST A (8 times) WALKING
JUST A JUST A JUST A JUST A: (8 times) JUST A WALKING

JUST A WALKING

A riesgo de ser previsible... Hoy me quedo con esta, sin duda.

Es un cañón de tema, que versiones más maravillosas se han hecho de ella...
