Red next to yella will kill a fella.

Red next to black is a friend of jack.

That’s how I’ve always remembered it.

For a while back then, I couldn’t remember how that saying went. I came up with -

Red by black - better get back
Red by yellow - jolly good fellow.

My friend (in East Texas, again) set me straight, thank goodness.

Red by black - venom lack
Red by yellow - kill a fellow.

Just glad it never came to that.

I was always told

Red touching yellow will kill a fellow.
Red touching black, pat him on the back.
