Answer 1

POSIES ASHES ASHES WE ALL FALL DOWN

Answer 2

Ring around the rosey,
A pocket full of posies,
Ashes, ashes, all fall down

The story behind this rhyme is that during the plague in London, people carried little bouquets of flowers to hold to their noses to filter out the horrid odor of burning bodies...bodies that were being burnt in the streets to prevent further spreading of the black death. Hence, ashes and people taking sick and falling down. A sad and terrible time, memorialzed by a sweet little verse.

Answer 3

I knew it as 'Ring-a-ring of roses/A pocket full of posies/A-tishoo! A-Tishoo!/We all fall down.'

It's supposed to derive from the plague years - plague being spread so quickly that a sneeze from your neighbour could be very harmful - and a supersitition that carrying flowers might protect you. A relict of that superstition exists (or did until recently) when English circuit judges carried a small posy of flowers on the way to their lodgings at their first attendance at the local assizes.

You'll find it quoted in John Aubrey's Brief Lives, though whose life I can't remember.
