Pocket full of posies,
Ashes, ashes, we all fall down.

AL CORRO
DE LA PATATA, connections to the Bubonic Plague (or Black Death)?
The words to the Ring Around the
Rosy children's ring game have their origin
in English history. The historical period dates back to the Great Plague of
London in 1665 (bubonic plague) or even before when the first outbreak of the
Plague hit England in the 1300's. The symptoms of the plague included a rosy red rash in the shape of a ring on
the skin (Ring around the rosy). Pockets and pouches were filled with sweet
smelling herbs (or posies) which were carried due to the belief that the
disease was transmitted by bad smells. The term "Ashes Ashes" refers
to the cremation of the dead bodies! The death rate was over 60% and the plague
was only halted by the Great Fire of London in 1666 which killed the rats which
carried the disease which was transmitting via water sources. The English
version of "Ring around the rosy" replaces Ashes with (A-tishoo, A-tishoo)
as violent sneezing was another symptom of the disease. We recommend the
following site for comprehensive information regarding the Bubonic Plague.
