shandi - Ring Around The Rosies
lyrics
Me father he took ill today
I musnt make any noise
Me Mum says go outside and play
with the little girls and boys
Theres Meg and Ginny
and John and Mike
All of my mates but one
I wonder where little Will is
and why He didnt come

Chorus:
Ring around the rosies
A pocket full of posies
ashes ashes
and they all fall down

We used to play upon the green
with a dozen mates or more
sometimes wed be a pirate ship
or good king nights at war
but now when I go out to play
less of my mates do I find
I ask my Mother where theyve gone
She tells me never you mind

Chorus:

One day when I went out to play
I couldnt find Michael Megee
I asked his little sister Meg
Just where our mate might be
she said that he took ill last night
upon his bed he lay
and long before the sun came up
a wagon took him away

Chorus

I cant go out to play today
I got a pain in me head
When I got up I couldnt stand
So I had to stay in my bed
Me eyes they hurt me awful bad
when I saw the mornin light
Dont let the black men take me Mom
Away in there wagon tonight

Chorus
