Alternate version from 1858 with a dog chasing a weasel around a bramble bush, instead of a monkey around  a mulberry bush.

"All around the bramble bush,
The dog chased the weasel,
The deacon kissed the Parson's wife,
Pop goes the weasel."

The Indiana Herald,  15 Dec 1858,  Page 2. Newspapers.com.
