yes ring around the Rosie is a death song if you listen to the song the part that says a pocket full of posies posies is a flower they put in your coffin so u still smell good and ashes ashes we all fall down means a burning house and every one in the house dies.

It is also about the Black Plague

One of the first signs was red rings surrounding a rosey bump. Hence "Ring around the rosey,". "Pocket full of posies," Some people may have carried around pockets full of posies because the stench was so bad. Some also thought that it could cure them. "Ashes, ashes" is due to the tremendous numbers of dead people, which bodies were burned. "We all fall down." Do you really need an explanation for that one?

Ring orown the rosies pocit folle poseys ashiashi you all foll dawn?

It seems like you are referencing the nursery rhyme "Ring Around the Rosie." It describes the symptoms and progression of the bubonic plague. "Ring around the rosie" refers to the rash that would appear on the skin, "pocket full of posies" refers to carrying flowers to mask the smell of death, and "ashes, ashes" symbolize the burning of bodies. It's a dark interpretation of a seemingly innocent children's rhyme.

Is Ring A Ring Of Roses really a death song?

Probably not.It is widely believed that Ring A Ring Of Roses is about the bubonic plague, which devastated England in the 1300s and the 1600s.Some people think the rhyme can be understood in this way:'Ring around the rosies,' = When people had the black death they got rings of pustules around their fingers'A pocket full of posies," = Posies are flowers. The dead bodies of the black death victims smelled really bad, so they put posies in the corpse's pockets to mask the smell.'Atishoo! Atishoo!' = One of the symptoms of the black death is sneezing a lot and coughing up blood.'We all fall down,' = Self explanatory, really. They all fell down. They died.However, as this idea didn't emerge until the mid-twentieth century, and there is no evidence to support it, it is very likely false.

Is Ring Around the Rosies about pirates?

No. It is widely believed that Ring Around the Rosies is about the bubonic plague. However, as there is no evidence to support this idea, it is probably untrue. The children during the time of the bubonic plague sung this song because when they started sneezing they fell down and died. They didn't have the same medicines as we do now so they just died when they caught a cold. That is why they say atishoo atishoo we all fall down. The children made this up because they needed some form of entertainment.

What does ring around the rosy represent?

Ring around the Rosie means the symptons the people would get who had 'the black death' A ring a ring rosies (they wore roses around there neck to ward of the sickness) a pocket full of poses (a pocket full of flowers to make them smell nice because the black death smelt horrible) A tissue A tissue (they were always blowing there nose and sneezing) We all fall down (they die of the Black Death) Actually this is a myth, the lyrics don't even really describe the symptoms of plague unless that's what you REALLY want to hear. The black death was in the 14th century, this rhyme was first heard nearly 500 years later in the late 19th century. Makes for a good story but sadly it seems more likely that the lyrics are simply describing the actions of a dancing game.
