It's about the black death, yet kids still sing it. Every time I hear it from a kid, I die a little inside.

"we all fall down" refers to death
and i'm not entirely sure but "ashes, ashes" might be referencing cremation

Posy refers to the stuffing in the masks doctors wore. It was made of sweet scents like flowers and honey because they thought smelling the rotting tissue of the infected gave you the plague

The 'ring around the rosies' part represents one of the plague's effects, which was a red rash that appeared on the victim's skin.

Posies and other sweet smelling flowers were believed to have warded off illnesses, and were typically stuffed into the bird-like Plague doctor's mask.

'Ashes, ashes' refers to cremation, and 'We all fall down!' is everyone's eventual death.

It's still pretty catchy.
