Is he extolling the virtues of marrying a bride who is a "dog?" It opens with the wedding march, then follows with these seemingly nonsensical lyrics.
Baby's back, dressed in black,
silver buttons all down her back.
High, low, tipsy toe,
she broke a needle and she can't sew.
Walkin' the dog,
just a-walkin' her dog.
If you don't know how to do it,
I'll show you how the walk the dog.
Asked the fellow for fifteen cents,
see the fellow he jumped the fence.
Jumped so high he touched the sky,
never got back till the fourth of July.
Walkin' the dog,
just a-walkin' her dog.
If you don't know how to do it,
I'll show you how the walk the dog.

Mary Mary, quite contrary
How does your garden grow
With silver bells
and cockle shells
And pretty maids all in a row
Walkin' the dog,
just a-walkin' her dog.
If you don't know how to do it,
I'll show you how the walk the dog.
If you listen to other Rufus Thomas songs, not many of them made sense.
