Here we go round the mulberry bush-league,
The mulberry bush-league,
The mulberry bush.
Here we go round the mulberry bush-league
On a cold and frosty morn.

This is the way we launder our face,
Launder our confront,
Wash our face.
This is the way nosotros launder our face up
On a cold and frosty morning time.

This is the manner we rummage our pilus,
Rummage our hair,
Comb our hair.
This is the mode we comb our hair
On a common cold and frosty morning.

This is the fashion we brush our teeth,
Brush our teeth,
Brush our teeth.
This is the way we brush our teeth
On a common cold and frosty forenoon.

This is the manner we put on our dress,
Put on our clothes,
Put on our apparel.
This is the way nosotros put on our wearing apparel
On a cold and frosty morning.

Here we get round the mulberry bush,
The mulberry bush,
The mulberry bush.
Here nosotros go circular the mulberry bush
On a cold and frosty morning.

Origins and meaning [edit]

The rhyme was get-go recorded past James Orchard Halliwell as an English children'due south game in the mid-nineteenth century.^[one] He noted that at that place was a like game with the lyrics "Here we get circular the bramble bush". The bramble bush-league may be an earlier version, possibly changed considering of the difficulty of the alliteration, since mulberries exercise non abound on bushes.^[ii]

Halliwell said subsequent verses included: "This is the style nosotros wash our clothes", "This is the way we dry out our wearing apparel", "This is the way we mend our shoes", "This is the way the gentlemen walk" and "This is the style the ladies walk".^[1]

The vocal and associated game is traditional, and has parallels in Scandinavia and in holland (the bush is a juniper in Scandinavia).^[3]

Local historian R. S. Duncan suggests that the vocal originated with female prisoners at HMP Wakefield. A sprig was taken from Hatfeild Hall (Normanton Golf Club) in Stanley, Wakefield, and grew into a fully mature mulberry tree around which prisoners exercised in the moonlight.^[4] The mulberry tree died during 2022 and was cutting downwardly and removed on vii May 2019. Cuttings were taken during the 1980s and have grown into mature trees. Further cuttings taken from these trees will be replanted at HMP Wakefield to replace the mulberry tree.^{[ commendation needed ]}

The Christmas ballad, "As I Saturday on a Sunny Bank", collected by Cecil Precipitous in Worcestershire, has a very similar tune; as does the related "I Saw Iii Ships."^{[ citation needed ]}

Another possible interpretation of the rhyme is that information technology references United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland'southward struggles to produce silk, mulberry trees being a key habitat for the tillage of silkworms. As Nib Bryson explains, Britain in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries tried to emulate the success of the Chinese in silk production but the manufacture was held dorsum by periodic harsh winters and mulberry trees proved likewise sensitive to frost to thrive.^[five] The traditional lyrics "Here we become round the mulberry bush / On a common cold and frosty morning" may therefore be a joke nigh the problems faced by the manufacture.

Game and song [edit]

The simple game involves holding hands in a circle and moving around to the first verse, which is alternated with the specific verse, where the players break up to imitate various advisable actions.^[ane]

A variant of this rhyme is "Nuts in May", sharing the tune also as the traditional closing line "On a cold and frosty morn".^[6]
