"Miss Mary Mack"?

Question

Does anyone know the words to the schoolyard ditty "Miss Mary Mack", chanted while making patty-cake motions with the hands? The only words I remember are

"Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack,
all dressed in black, black, black,
had silver butttons, buttons, buttons,
all down her back, back, back."

I think the second verse starts
"She said to me, me, me,", but I can't remember.

I want to teach my little girl, but I've forgotten the words, I just remember that I liked it. Can u help?
