THE MULBERRY BUSH.

This a very old game, which little folks have always been fond of playing.

The children all take hands and dance round, singing:



Then they stop and pretend to wash their dresses, singing:

This is the way we wash our clothes, We wash our clothes, we wash our clothes! This is the way we wash our clothes, So early Monday morning!"

Then they dance round hand in hand again, singing, "Here we go round the mulberry bush," &c., as at first. Again they stop and make motions of ironing, singing:

This is the way we iron our clothes, We iron our clothes, we iron our clothes! This is the way we iron our clothes, So early Tuesday morning!" 101
