** “Ring a Ring o’ Roses” is a folksong and singing game that was first published in 1881 in England. Although first published in 1881 only, it is believed that the tune of the song was well known at least one hundred years before as well. A very similar German nursery rhyme and singing game was already published in the 18th century. There is a theory that the lyrics would depict the Great Plague, but this was proved to be unfounded, as this claim originated in the 20th century and was based upon the modern version of the lyrics, not the original ones.<ref>https://allnurseryrhymes.com/ring-a-ring-o-roses/</ref><blockquote>Ring a ring o’ roses<br>A pocketful of posies<br>a-tishoo, a-tishoo<br>We all fall down.</blockquote> | ** “Ring a Ring o’ Roses” is a folksong and singing game that was first published in 1881 in England.
