I thought there was a thread here along the lines of "Things I have learned from Folk Songs" but I can't find it.

Such sage tips as:-

If you're about to walk out on a May morning - think again; no good will come of it.

If you happen to wander by the salt sea strand while walking out on a May morning - go home; no good will come of it.

If you should meet a fair young maid by the salt sea strand on a fine May morning - run the other way! No good will come of it.

There was a lot more - all of which I have ignored in life, and endured the predicted disasters. Ah well.
