Origin – Here We Go Round The Mulberry Bush
“Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush” dates at least as far back as the mid-19th century, when it was recorded by English Shakespearean scholar and nursery rhyme collector, James Orchard Halliwell-Phillips. Its author is unknown. Variations on the rhyme commonly change the last line of each verse. Now popular as a children’s game, the song is thought to have originated at the infamous Wakefield Prison in West Yorkshire, England, where female inmates once exercised around a mulberry bush in the prison yard. That theory, however, remains unproven.
