Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush

                  

Here we go 'round the mulberry bush,
The mulberry bush, the mulberry bush.
Here we go 'round the mulberry bush,
So early in the morning.

This is the way we wash our clothes,
We wash our clothes, we wash our clothes.
This is the way we wash our clothes,
So early Monday morning.

This is the way we iron our clothes,
We iron our clothes, we iron our clothes.
This is the way we iron our clothes,
So early Tuesday morning.

This is the way we scrub the floor,
We scrub the floor, we scrub the floor.
This is the way we scrub the floor,
So early Wednesday morning.

This is the way we mend our clothes,
We mend our clothes, we mend our clothes.
This is the way we mend our clothes,
So early Thursday morning.

This is the way we sweep the house,
We sweep the house, we sweep the house.
This is the way we sweep the house,
So early Friday morning.

This is the way we bake our bread,
We bake our bread, we bake our bread.
This is the way we bake our bread,
So early Saturday morning.

This is the way we go to church,
We go to church, we go to church.
This is the way we go to church,
So early Sunday morning.

On a cold and frosty morning

Information About Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush

James Orchard Halliwell first recorded ‘Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush’ as a children's game in the mid-nineteenth century. "Here we go round the bramble bush" was an alternative early version.

It has been suggested that this song was originally sung by prisoners of Wakefield Prison (Yorkshire, UK) whose means of exercise was to be walked around the mulberry tree within the prison grounds and that this ancient tree still exists behind the prison gates. However there is no evidence to confirm this story.

Another great song to get you in the mood is Hide & Seek.

I remember this song from when I was a child, the mulberry bush was a cute concept. I now need to wonder however if this is good to sing & implant in our child's mind. Why? Due to Fruitless Male Mulberry trees and the pollen they generate. Manmade in US in 50's as just shade trees, the pollen has been shown to cause permanent lung disease in children below the age of 12 for life.

I have a poem my late Uncle has written and I immediately thought of this tune to go with it. Wondering if this tune us in the Public Domain?
