Mulberry Bush-
A circle, singing, game. The leader stood in
the center of the circle and performed actions sung by the
rest of the players. Here is one version heard around the
Seventh Ward: "Here we go 'round 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, wash
our clothes, wash our clothes. This is the way we wash our
clothes, so early in the morning." Other actions performed
were: Dry our clothes, iron our clothes, shine our shoes,
comb our hair, put on our clothes, put on our shoes, walk
to school.
