"Ten little Injuns standin’ in a line, One toddled home and then there were nine; Nine little Injuns swingin’ on a gate, One tumbled off and then there were eight. One little, two little, three little, four little, five little Injun boys, Six little, seven little, eight little, nine little, ten little Injun boys. Eight little Injuns gayest under heav’n. One went to sleep and then there were seven; Seven little Injuns cuttin' up their tricks, One broke his neck and then there were six. Six little Injuns all alive, One kicked the bucket and then there were five; Five little Injuns on a cellar door, One tumbled in and then there were four. Four little Injuns up on a spree, One got fuddled and then there were three; Three little Injuns out on a canoe, One tumbled overboard and then there were two. Two little Injuns foolin’ with a gun, One shot t’other and then there was one; One little Injun livin’ all alone, He got married and then there were none"

One of the most popular and historical nursery rhymes is "Ten Little Indians". There are some who view the song as racist because it implies the killing of ten Native Americans.

This song was written in 1868. During that time, it might have been common to talk about Native Americans and write about them in that way. It was just history! Plus, there are several other classical rhymes that could also be considered "offensive" but are not, such as "Ring Around the Rosy" or "Lizzy Borden Took an Axe".
