    Smooth water runs deep. A rolling stone gathers no moss.
    Married in blue your sure to be true.
    Married in black you'll never come back.
    Married in green you'll never be seen.
    Married in grey you'll live far away.
    Married in pink your spirit will sink.
    Married in brown you'll in town.
    Married in red your sure to be dead.
