Ring Around The Rosey lyrics

Ring around a rosey- a red ring from a rat bite- sign of bubonic plague
Pocket full of posey-blocks the stench of death and used to honor the ones who died fro the plague
Ashes ashes- the dead bodies were cremated
We all fall down- we all will fall down dead from the plague

Ring around a rosey= when rats bite you they leave a ring around their bite. Their bite leaves a disease know as the bubonic plague

Pocket full of posey= when got the disease body decomposes and leaves behind a stench. Posey is a flower used to block the stench

Ashes ashes= to cure the disease europians built a bonfire and marched in a circle chanting

We all fall sown= after that they would fall down and leaers would whip them
