    a person dies
    This is a rhyme about clothes
    Married in black you are sure
    is come back
    Married in blue you are sure
    to be true
    Married in brown you live near a town
    Married in green you are not fit
    to be seen
    Married in red you wish yourself
    dead
    Married in yellow you are ashamed
    of your fellow
    Married in pink your spirit will
    sink
    Married in white you are sure
    to be right
    Married in grey you live far away
