Sixpence is a british coin. A sixpence in a shoe is supposed to be a good luck charm for a bride. The line you're speaking of is an old ryhme: "Something old, something new, Something borrowed, something blue, And a sixpence for her shoe." It is about luck getting married.

Okay, the 'sixpence in her shoe' is a tradition from England that is followed in many areas in the US ... she's also wearing a white dress, something borrowed and something blue ... she was supposed to be going to her own wedding, but is instead at the funeral for her man who was killed in battle. A woman would carry sixpence in her shoe when she went out on a date with a man, because he might not be a good man, but the sixpence was enough to get her home ... in this case, she 'needs it' because her MAN is never 'coming home' ...

Sixpence for her shoe" . . . .the bride will then have ALL of the traditional good luck wedding symbols needed to complete the famous legendary custom... Since we Americans didn't use the sixpence in our currency, the last line of that English nuptial rhyme had to be ignored, and then was forgotten through the years.....But now, you may fulfill the promise of Joy, Happiness, and Good Fortune to your favorite future bride by sending her this special bridal gift card with an English silver sixpence.

sixpence is a wedding term for good luck:
A Sixpence in her Shoe is to wish the bride and groom wealth.
pence is a currency used in England, like a penny in the US.

This song is about an 18 year old girl who was about to get married. Her fiance was in the military, fighting war, and just before the wedding, he was killed.
Sixpence in a shoe is an old english tradition for getting married

I think the sixpence and the shoe could be like things he owned or somthing he let her borrow and it reminded it of him.
