    A number of girls form a circle and go round slowly saying -
    Here comes an old woman from Moot Street, Moot Street, Moot Street
    Here comes an old woman from Moot Street and this is the way she went -
    Then all int he row limp around imitating an old woman.
    Next they repeat -
    Then she becam a teacher, a teacher, a teacher
    Then she became a teacher and this is the way she went -
    Now they trip around clapping hands.
    Then she got married, married, married
    Then she got married and this is the way she went -
    Now they move around imitating the walk of a proud lady.
