Ring, a ring a row-o,
See the children go-o,
Sit below the goose-berry bush;
Hark! they all cry Hush! hush! hush!
Sitty down, sit down.
Duzzy, duzzy gander,
Sugar, milk, and candy;
Hatch-u, hatch-u, all fall down together.
—South Shields (Miss Blair, aged 9).
Ringey, ringey rosies,
A pocketful of posies—
Hach-ho, hach-ho, all fall down.
Another version—
Hash-ho! Tzhu-ho! all fall down.
—Sporle, Norfolk (Miss Matthews).
