528.0. "Mary Queen of Scots" by GAO::JCREAN () Tue Mar 14 1989 07:42

    Anybody know the full, or correct, version of this old rhyme. It
    is to do with a Scottish superstition that it is unlucky to get
    married in May. I can't remember where I heard it now: probably
    on some radio programme long ago....
    
     The puir sillit Jezabel
     Oor Queen Mary
     Marrit the neer-do-well
     Long-shanks Darnley
     Gin the moonth o' May,
     And ever since that day........
