Here’s our last jump rope rhyme! I hope you’ve been practicing. However, if you ask nicely, maybe I could find some more. 
Miss Mary Mack
Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack
All dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back.
She asked her mother, mother, mother,
For fifteen cents, cents, cents,
To see the elephant, elephant, elephant,
Jump the fence, fence, fence.
He jumped so high, high, high.
He reached the sky, sky, sky,
And he never came back, back, back
Till the Fourth of July, lie, lie.
so I was singing Miss Marry Mack with my little cousin and I realized that what you have writen is not all of the song I know a few more lines but I was wondering if you could find out what the rest are? then next lines are- “July cant talk talk talk, July cant walk walk walk, July cant eat eat eat, with a fork and knife knife knife”
thank you.
Sincerely,
BeverlyAnn

Good old Wikipedia always coming to my aid when I need it. There are quite a few different variations, but that looked like the one you were thinking of.

Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack
All dressed in black, black, black
With silver buttons, buttons, buttons
All down her back, back, back.
She cannot read, read, read
She cannot write, write, write
But she can smoke, smoke, smoke
Her father’s pipe, pipe, pipe
She asked her mother, mother, mother
For 50 cents, cents, cents
To see the elephants, elephants, elephants
Jump over the fence, fence, fence.
They jumped so high, high, high
They reached the sky, sky, sky
And they didn’t come back, back, back
‘Til the 4th of July, ly, ly!
July can’t walk, walk, walk
July can’t talk, talk, talk
July can’t eat, eat, eat
With a knife and fork, fork, fork!
She went up stairs, stairs, stairs
To say her prayers, prayers, prayers
And bumped her head, head, head
And now she’s dead, dead, dead!
