Malcolm Douglas Lyr Req: Old Mother Logo (14) RE: Lyr Req: Old Mother Logo 30 Dec 08

'Old Mother Hippletoe' is a version of one of the more common forms of Roud 131, 'Old Daddy Fox' (and many other names) as the lyric transcription at Azizi's link makes clear: 'Old Mother Hippletoe' is the name of the owner of the stolen goose in that version. In others (of which there are many; see numerous past discussions here) she is 'Flipperflopper', 'Slipperslopper', and other names. There's no reason to think the song is in any way connected to 'Old Mother Logo'.
