"Ring a Ring o' Roses" or "Ring Around the 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. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 7925. Urban legend says the song originally described the plague, specifically the Great Plague of London, but folklorists reject this idea. ==Lyrics== It is unknown what the earliest version of the rhyme was or when it began. Many incarnations of the game have a group of children form a ring and dance in a circle around a person and stoop or curtsy with the final line. The slowest child to do so would be faced with some penalty or become the "rosie" (literally: Rose tree) from the French ''rosier'') and take their place in the center of the ring. Numerous variations, corruptions and even several vulgarized versions were noted to be in use long prior to the earliest printed publications. One such variation was dated to be in use in Connecticut in the 1840s.Please note the versions below :). Common British versions include:
