- Description: This, it was explained, was a morality song to be sung as a warning to girls not to marry poor men. There appeared to be no association between the words of the lyric and the occassion, the party after the burial, which could be established. The singers did not know why it was sung on such occassions. "Mother used to tell me that I should get married to a man with brick house and a lamp which is used for light instead of fire. Now I am married to a poor man who has patches on his clothes. patches! patches on his clothes!" A funeral dance sung after burual with tins (used as drums).
