"Ring a Ring o' Roses" or "Ring Around the Rosie" or "Ring a Ring o' Rosie" is a nursery rhyme or folksong and playground singing game. It first appeared in print in 1881, but it is reported that a version was already being sung to the current tune in the 1790s and similar rhymes are known from across Europe. Here are the full lyrics for sing along varying from region to region
Common British versions include:
Ring-a-ring o' roses,
A pocket full of posies,
A-tishoo! A-tishoo!
We all fall down.
Cows in the meadows
Eating buttercups
A-tishoo! A-tishoo!
We all jump up.
Common American versions include:
Ring-a-round the rosie,
A pocket full of posies,
Ashes! Ashes!
We all fall down.
The last two lines are sometimes varied to:
Hush! Hush! Hush! Hush!
We've all tumbled down.
The Indian version of the poem is:
Ringa ringa roses,
Pocket full of poses,
Hush-sha bush-sha,
All fall down.
