Marry in Lent, live to repent. Monday for wealth,
Tuesday for health, Wednesday the best day of all, Thursday for
losses, Friday for crosses, Saturday no luck at all! If you change
the name and not the letter, You marry for worse and not for better.Marry
in white, you’ve chosen right, Marry in blue, your love will be true,
Marry in yellow, ashamed of the fellow, Marry in red, you’ll wish
yourself dead, Marry in black, you’ll wish yourself back, Marry
in grey, travel away, Marry in pink, your spirits will sink, Marry
in green, ashamed to be seen.
