A quick search reveals that it's a variation of "Here We Go Round the Mulberry Bush", an English folk song from the 1800s.
Pfffft!
Absurd. Those songs are as similar as Given to Fly and Going to California.
Amazing exchange, guys.
But the lyrics for "Mulberry Bush" are "all day long...". Which may or may not prove something. Probably not.
Welp. The lyrics for "Mulberry Bush" are "early in the morning", not "all day long".
AH YES. So this must be a variation on "What Shall We Do with a Drunken Sailor". Because that, too, ends in "early in the morning", except in that song, it's more like "eaarrrlieee in the mornan", pirate accent.

YES!
In regards to the song in reference, Harmless, did you ever sing/have you ever heard the verse that answers the titular question with "put him in bed with the captain's daughter!"
This was a popular verse among the gents in my high school's show choir, but I'm not sure it's a well known verse.

No, I never heard that, but I like it!
I always liked it too.
Imagine my disappointment when I bought Annie Laurie by the King's Singers and that verse was never sung.
