Ring around the rosy, A pocket full of posies, Ashes, Ashes, We all fall down, Ring around the rosy, A pocket full of posies, Atissue, Atissue, We all fall down. -------- The first verses meaning is: a ring of red rash on the skin, because of the plague. Pocket full of posies is because of a belief that the disease was carried by bad smells, so people carried herbs, flowers or like in the song, posies. Ashes ashes is for the cremation of bodies being burnt. And we all fall down is just we all fall down, that or it’s saying that the people are dead. And for the second verse it’s the same, except ashes ashes is turned into atissue atissue. Atissue, atissue represents the sound of someone sneezing, and in this case it’s someone getting sick. I wonder if anyone actually bothered to read this article that I’ve written XD.

Ladies and Gentlemen, skinny and stout, I’ll tell you a tale I know nothing about; The Admission is free, so pay at the door, Now pull up a chair and sit on the floor. One fine day in the middle of the night, Two dead boys got up to fight; Back to back they faced each other, Drew their swords and shot each other. A blind man came to watch fair play, A mute man came to shout “Hoorray!” A deaf policeman heard the noise and Came to stop those two dead boys. He lived on the corner in the middle of the block, In a two-story house on a vacant lot; A man with no legs came walking by, and kicked the lawman in his thigh. He crashed through a wall without making a sound, into a dry creek bed and suddenly drowned; The long black hearse came to cart him away, But he ran for his life and is still gone today. I watched from the corner of the big round table, The only eyewitness to facts of my fable; But if you doubt my lies are true, Just ask the blind man, he saw it too.

Or maybe it's just hyperbole

[@Hypatia52]

There are many guesses about this, since Humpty Dumpty was a common jibe at fat men from Tudor times onward. But the author here does give the most probable answer. The big fat cannon that fell from the church tower in Colchester. Charles I was a staunch Catholic, most of England was Protestant and there was the Civil War. The Protestants who supported Parliament (the Roundheads) attacked the King and his Cavaliers at Colchester. Initially the King held the city, because the cannon was wreaking havoc, but the cannon fell and broke apart and Charles ended up losing the war with Parliament and ultimately his life.

Yep, 'London Bridge is Falling Down" sounds like it must have negative origins.?

[@BakaTaco]

I know this comment is old, so maybe you just looked it up, but nonetheless... There's a couple of theories about the song. I always thought it was about the steady deterioration of the bridge and the attempts to fix it. I looked into this and found that this may be the case, but there's one other theory I like too. I'll get to that in a moment. Here's what I know about the bridge... I think the Old London Bridge was the only crossing on the Thames in London. It was damaged in a major fire in 1633. Is that the Great Fire of London?? It could be, I forget. In any case, the bridge needed expensive repairs. The new bridge was opened in 1831 and survived until it was replaced in 1972. It was then moved all the way to Arizona. So it's possible the rhyme is talking about the construction of the bridge. Build it up with sticks and stones, wood and clay, bricks and mortar, etc, are all mentioned in the more modern lyrics. But the song is much older than that, from what I know, which leads me to the next theory... It refers to a Viking attack that occurred sometime in the 1000s, where the bridge was burnt down. There's a bit of debate over this though, such as if it was the London Bridge (a very old version of it) that was mentioned, the song written is actually the same as London Bridge is Falling Down, and even if the event occurred at all. Given it was SO long ago, it's really hard to figure that out. I hope this information can help you out! There is a bit of history there, but not super dark. Although... There's a rumour that there were human remains in the London Bridge foundations... But I won't talk about that.

[@khwasongh]

@@BakaTaco does it not refer to human sacrifices to build a bridge ?

[@BakaTaco]

@@khwasongh I've heard that too. But there's no evidence to say that there was ever any people sacrificed, children or otherwise. There's a story about bones in the foundation, which I think ended up being a lie.

London bridge had houses and shops on it That was slum living and was one of the only ways over the river at the time It was made of wood the rotted then it started to collapse Hence the song

[@jaceyluckie9041]

the origin of ¨London Bridge is Falling down¨ refers to when people were sealed away inside of the bridge as a sacrifice. the line that states this is forgotten: ¨Off to prison you must go, you must go, you must go. Off to prison you must go. My fair lady.¨ People sealed away over 80 people, alive, into the walls of the bridge. 5 of them were children to bring healthy youth and prosperity. The front of the bridge was used to display the severed heads of famous people that had died. They were placed onto spikes and put onto display for everyone to see. The lamp posts are Nepolions cannons melted down and shaped into the lamp posts. People also committed suicide off the side of the bridge, jumping off headfirst. One lady jumped feet first and broke both her legs before drowning in the water below. It is also said that the spirit of Jack The Ripper could be seen standing at the bottom of the bridge near the water. Though this cannot be proven to be Jack because no one could find out his identity.

I was told this meaning at six years old by my brother (( hes the type who dosent care how you feel they just want you to be terrified and scared.)) And i always cried whenever they did it

[@lotsocampbell3641]

"Mary, Mary quite contrary" means that Mary wans different form her brother Edward and her father Henry VIII because they were for Protestants where Mary was completely against it. "How does your garden grow" was people making fun of Mary because she was not able to have a child. "With cockle shells" is them mocking her because her husband Philip of Spain was known for having affairs. "And silver bells" is basically just because Mary loved the sound of the church bells ringing. "And pretty maids all in a row" is because when she had a miscarriage it was always a girl and after she gave birth to her dead daughter she would bury them in a row. The Protestants of England wrote and sung this nursery rhyme because they could not go up an do something to hurt Mary for they would be beheaded or burned at the stake. So they made this to make her feel bad about herself and to hurt her mentally.

[@volleygirl634]

lotso Campbell Henry the 8th was a very devoted catholic. Edward was Protestant, when he died Mary took the throne and wanted to return everyone back to Catholicism but when she died queen Elizabeth had been raised Protestant and returned to everyone back to Protestant beliefs.

actually rockabye baby's origin is that this famous lullaby is that it is about the son of King James II of England and Mary of Modena.

Ever heard of this rhyme Oranges and lemons 🍋 Say the bells of St Clement's You owe me five farthings Say the bells of St Martin's When will you pay me? Say the bells of Old Bailey When I grow rich Say the bells of Shoreditch And when will that be? Say the bells of Stepney Oh I do not know Say the great bells of Bow Here comes a candle To light you to bed And here comes a chopper To chop off your head This rhyme is describing public execution in England where before being put to death the church bells announced their time of execution. The curious and spectacularly dark end lines: “here comes the candle to light you to bed, here comes the chopper to chop off your head…” probably refers to practices at Newgate prison. The gaol stood on the current site of the Old Bailey, next to St Sepulchre’s church (the bells of Old Bailey in the rhyme). The sound of that church’s “great” tenor bell striking 9am on a Monday morning would signal the start of any hangings due to take place that week. The prisoners on death row were visited the night before by the bell man of St Sepulchre, who would hold a candle in one hand and ring the execution bell in the other. He would then recite a poem; All you that in the condemned hole do lie, Prepare you for tomorrow you shall die, Examine all yourselves, in time repent That you may not be to eternal flames be sent And when St Sepulchre’s bell in the morning tolls The lord above have mercy on your souls.

Lizzie Borden (yes that was her actual name) killed both of her parents by striking them with an axe repeatedly. Her father was hit so many times in the face that he was unrecognizable.

What about "Oh my darling clementine?" Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine You were lost and gone forever Dreadful sorrow, Clementine In a cavern, in a canyon Excavating for a mine Dwelt a miner forty-niner And his daughter, Clementine Yes I loved her, how I loved her Though her shoes were number nine Herring boxes, without topses Sandals were for Clementine Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine You were lost and gone forever Dreadful sorrow, Clementine Drove the horses to the water Every morning just at nine Hit her foot against a splinter Fell into the foaming brine Ruby lips above the water Blowing bubbles soft and fine But alas, I was no swimmer So I lost my Clementine Oh my darling, oh my darling Oh my darling, Clementine You were lost and gone forever Dreadful sorrow, Clementine You are lost and gone forever Dreadful sorrow, Clementine

Jack and Jill went up the hill for one reason or another, they laid down and rolled around, nine months later, Jill had broken 💦 water💦

Jack and Jill went up the hill, each had a dollar and a quarter Jill came down with two bucks fifty, did you think they went for water?

Have you seen the book "Cinderella Dressed in Yella"? It's a collection of rhymes which are popular among Australian school children. Here are two of my favorites: Jack and Jill went up the hill to fetch a pail of water, Jill came down with half a crown, but not for fetching water. Old Mother Hubbard went to the cupboard to get her poor daughter a dress, But when she got there, the cupboard was bare, and so was the daughter, I guess. "

[@theo99]

Jack and Jill went up the hill so Jack could eat Jill's candy. But Jack got a shock and mouth full of cock cause Jill's real name was Randy.

I'm English and the song for "rain rain go away" Went like this for me: "Rain rain go away, and never come back again," "An old man bumped his head, and never woke up again." Rain rain go away, and never come back again, Little Johnny wants to play, rain rain go away."

You forgot London bridge is falling down hehe

[@tyleromega9976]

@1tiercel true, but you know, when you hear the hundreds of insanely creepy, chilling and horrifying versions of it, you can only count it as creepy!! Also, the way they are HAPPILY SINGING about the destruction of historical monument, important for the further development of the country.... is kind of scary when you think about it lol!

[@katherinevalador-ryan2992]

Jack the Ripper lives in the London Bridge in Lake Havasu City Az. If I was still living in that town I would send him to the light. He's in purgatory and don't know how to leave the bridge. Why do you think London gave it to the USA? California didn't want that evilness, nor Oregon as well. He did haunt our place, I rebuked my current location. He's scary and dark, how many did he kill? I forgot it's been along while

[@katherinevalador-ryan2992]

See my comment below, real... and he scares everyone, but not me is good beats evil anyday

[@stephenfradley8066]

Wasn't the my Fair Lady part about a virgin sacrifice?to protect the bridge?

[@4rt1cfox37]

Another version of the meaning to London Bridge is children used to be sacraficed to newly built buildings to stop them from falling down

I heard Goosey Goosey Gander slightly differently. It went, Goosey, goosey gander, where doest thou wander? Upstairs and downstairs, and in my lady's chamber. There I met an old man who would not say his prayers. I took him by the left leg and threw him down the stairs. This leads to questions as to what the old man was doing in a lady's chamber....
