Ring Around the Rosie
It's based off of the Black Plague; The ring around the rosie (eye) was the first symptom. Pocket full of posies to keep the smell of the dying people away, ashes ashes as in burning the body.
We all fall down was the country dying.

Ring a ring of roses
A pocketful of posies
Atishoo, atishoo
We all fall down
Reflects the time of the plague, when posies of flowers were thought to be a protection. The 'atishoo, atishoo......' lines reflect the sequence of events with the illness: fever, sneezes, collapse and death

Ring a ring of Rosie's is based on something true. But I do believe it was something bad.
