Who was Mother Brown and why did she have to put her knees up?

Question

Godnight, you've been a lovely audience *bows*

This is a serious question, I want to know who she was, or whether it was just a random name for the song.

Answer 1

There came a girl from France
Who didn't know how to dance
The only thing that she could do
Was knees up Mother Brown

Oh, knees up Mother Brown
Knees up Mother Brown
Knees up, knees up, never let the breeze up,
Knees up Mother Brown

Oh, hopping on one foot
Hopping on one foot
Hopping, hopping, never stopping
Hopping on one foot

Oh, knees up Mother Brown
Knees up Mother Brown
Knees up, knees up, never let the breeze up,
Knees up Mother Brown

Oh, prancing up and down
Prancing up and down
Prancing, prancing, never dancing
Prancing up and down

Oh, knees up Mother Brown
Knees up Mother Brown
Knees up, knees up, never let the breeze up,
Knees up Mother Brown

And whirling round and round
Whirling round and round
Whirling, whirling, never twirling
Whirling round and round

Oh, knees up Mother Brown
Knees up Mother Brown
Knees up, knees up, never let the breeze up,
Knees up Mother Brown

Oh, knees up Mother Brown
Knees up Mother Brown
Knees up, knees up, never let the breeze up,
Knees up Mother Brown

she raises her knees to dance. She can't dance so they all sing about her because she's silly.

Some people are so horrible, they don't have to answer your questions, it's not as if you're asking anything offensive. Anyway, I don't know who mother brown was, I think it might have been the name of a type of beer actually. And the knees up is for dancing.
