A little more . . .

*This song was explained by Mrs. Myra Pipkin with the following rhymes:

Marry in white
You're sure to be right.

Marry in blue
You're sure to be true.

Marry in green
You're ashamed to be seen.

Marry in brown
You'll live in town.

Marry in red
You'll wish yourself dead.

Marry in black
You'll wish yourself back.

"Should always get married in white or blue -
right and true."
