其他像「威廉國王是詹姆士國王的兒子」 (King William Was King James' Son) 這類的歌曲，則提供愛情及婚姻建議給孩子們；這是首1930年代加州第二次淘金熱 (Gold Rush) 時期，源自於北加州的歌謠。

現在您已經結婚了，您一定很辛福；
聘請一個人幫您砍柴，
再請一個人扛它下山，
現在您可以再親一次您的真愛了！
Other songs offered advice to children on love and marriage, such as "King William Was King James' Son." This is a folk song from Northern California during the time of California's second Gold Rush in the 1930s.

and now you're married you must be good
hire a man to chop your wood
hire another to carry it in
and now you may kiss your true love again
