As for the original meaning of the song/riddle, there exist various explanations, ranging from Humpty Dumpty referring to King #RichardIII of #England, to the downfall of a #CardinalWolsey, to a #SiegeEngine during the Siege of Gloucester, to #Colchester's cannon damaged during the #SiegeOfColchester.
