    Monday for health,
    Tuesday for wealth,
    Wednesday the best day of all,
    Thursday for losses,
    Friday for crosses,
    Saturday no luck at all.
    Married in white your choosings are right.
    Married in gray you will live far away.
    Married in brown you will live out of town.
    Married in blue he is sure to be true.
    Married in green ashamed to be seen.
    Married in red you will wish yourself dead.
