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.

because the song is really about death..... ashes, ashes we all fall down!!! "Ring around the rosy" refers to the pock marks that appear on the skin of smallpox victims: a red spot with a ring around it. During the epidemics that occurred more than one hundred years ago, virtually all smallpox victims died and "all fall down."
"Ring around the rosy" is often interpreted as a nursery rhyme about the symptoms of the bubonic plague, where "rosy" refers to the red rash, "pocketful of posies" symbolizes the herbs people carried to ward off disease, "ashes, ashes" could represent the burning of contaminated belongings, and "we all fall down" signifies death. However, the connection to the plague is debated among scholars, and the true meaning remains somewhat uncertain.
