Answer 2

The ring around the Rosie's one is actually about the Black Death.

Answer 3

"Ring Around the Rosy" is about death, but all the little kids still sing it.

Answer 4

they're actually pretty grotesque if you pay attention to what this being said...

Answer 5

Some of them are violent! I never realized until I started reading them to my baby.... baby falling out of a tree, birds being cooked in a pie, kids rolling down a hill... etc..

Answer 6

"Ring Around the Rosie" is about the black plague.

"Sing a Song of Sixpence" is rumored to actually have been a covert way of attracting pirates, but has been debunked as a myth.

Answer 10

I always thought rock a bye baby was sad:
Rock-a-bye baby on the treetop
When the wind blows the cradle will fall
Down comes baby cradle and all

i mean its about a baby falling and they never said the baby lived the fall.

Answer 11

they're all depressing! if you listen to the lyrics they're all about death and destruction and stuff
ring around the rosie- black plague
rock a bye baby- kid falls out of the crib and dies
humpty dumpty- becomes SCRAMBLED EGGS

Answer 12

London Bridge Is Falling Down.
Definitely bad news for the British tax payer.
