The expression bunting is the name of a group of species of British birds; it is also a term of endearment that may also imply 'plump'. [1] A version of the rhyme was published in 1731 in England. [5] A version in Songs for the Nursery 1805 had the longer lyrics:[ citation needed ]

Bye, baby Bunting,
Father's gone a-hunting,
Mother's gone a-milking,
Sister's gone a-silking,
Brother's gone to buy a skin
To wrap the baby Bunting in. [1] [6] [7]
