    Monday for wealth, Tuesday for health,
    Wednesday the best day of all,
    Thursday for losses, Friday for crosses
    Saturday no day at all.
    And here is another in connection with the marriage dresses.
    Married in white, your true love is a delight,
    Married in blue, your love is true,
    Married in green, you will go far away
    Married in black, you will fight like cats.
    And still another rhyme which tells how lucky it is to wear a borrowed garment.
    Something old, something new
    Something borrowed, something blue.
    Transcribed by a member of our volunteer transcription project.
