There Dwelt an Old Woman at Exeter
Limerick

There Dwelt an Old Woman at Exeter - Mama Lisa's House of English Nursery Rhymes, Intro Image


There dwelt an old woman at Exeter;
When visitors came it sore vexed her,
So for fear they should eat,
She locked up all her meat,
This stingy old woman of Exeter.
