By a total coincidence, we were just discussing this at work the other day. One for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret never to be told.

Just to confuse things, the version I know is:

One for sorrow,
Two for joy,
Three for a girl,
Four for a boy.
Five for a wedding,
Six for a birth,
Seven, the unluckiest thing on earth.
