Adapted from: Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush written by [Traditional]
Comments: Traditional folk song collected by Cecil Sharp in 1917 in Kentucky. Has simple lyrics that are akin to a children's song and can often float but typically always have these opening lyrics -

Goodbye girls, I'm going to Boston (x3)
Early in the morning

Chorus:
Won't we look pretty in the ballroom (x3)
Early in the morning

Note - the song is sometimes performed with lyrics from What Shall We Do with the Drunken Sailor
