    "If you get married in black, you would wish to be back.
    If you would get married in blue, your true love would be true.
    If you would be married in white, you would live all right.
    If you would get married in red, you would wish to be dead.
    If you would get married in brown, you would live in town.
    If you would get married in grey, you would go far away."
