    that says.
    "Marry in red, I'd rather be dead,
    Marry in black, I wish myself back,
    Marry in yellow, I'm ashamed of my fellow
    Marry in brown I'll live out the town
    Marry in green, I'm ashamed to be seen,
    Marry in grey, I'll live far away,
    Marry in blue, I'll always be true,
    Marry in white, I have chose the right."
