Origin
The phrase was the title of a famous song by Eddie Green in 1918. The song elaborated on the fact that one may find a lot of men but they are mostly not the right kind of an alliance since they may wander off. He goes further to say that women who have found the right one should hold on to their men and appreciate them.
