Description of a singing game where a long line of players meets and sings to the tune of 'Here we Come Round the Mulberry Bush':

The Glasgow ships come sailing in,
Come sailing in, come sailing in,
The Glasgow ships come sailing in,
On a cold a frosty morning.

The reply is:

Have you any bread and wine,
Bread and wine, bread and wine,
Have you any bread and wine,
On a cold and a frosty morning?
