"There came an old woman picking them up,
Picking them up, picking them up,
There came an old woman picking
them up,
Oh,Vo,Vo,Vo".
Here upon "the farmer" rises and administers a sound kick to the "old lady"who is thereby rendered lame;and "the farmer",to make amends rises again and helps her out of the ring.All to the accompaniment of
"The farmer got up and gave her a kick,
Gave her a kick, gave her a kick,
"The farmer got up and gave her a kick,
Oh,Vo,Vo,Vo".This made the the old woman go hippidy-hop,
Hippidy-hop,hippidy-hop,
This made the the old woman go hippidy-hop,
Oh,Vo,Vo,Vo".The farmer got up and helped her to walk,
Helped her to walk,helped her to walk,
The farmer got up and helped her to walk,
Oh,Vo,Vo,Vo".
