Folk song? Circa the 1400's?

THEY DIDN'T EVEN HAVE BUSES IN THE 1400'S


That's my point.

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.

It's clearly "all through the town."

Someone should make a "Hooray and up she rises!" meme.

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.

I always liked it too.

Imagine my disappointment when I bought Annie Laurie by the King's Singers and that verse was never sung.

It's all through the town and if you think otherwise you can suck a bag of dicks.
