A penny in your shoe,
And wearing something blue.
Will keep your marriage true.

Submitter comment: The informant can recall the exact date she learned this because
it is the day of her marriage to Willis Muckle. Her mother gave her
the penny and a blue flower for her hair. The marriage lasted more
than thirty-five years.
