POPULAR NURSERY RHYMES

Introduction

A good majority of these popular nursery rhymes and kid’s songs have origins that date back hundreds of years. Many are thought to make references to kings, queens, famous battles, and even the Bubonic Plague that swept through Europe in the 14th century (Ring Around the Rosey)!
