When i was a single girl, dressed in clothes so fine,

Now i am a married girl, go ragged all the time

Wish i was a single girl again

Wish i was a single girl again



When i was a single girl, had shoes of the very best kind

Now i am a married girl, go barefoot all the time

Wish i was a single girl again

Wish i was a single girl again



When i was a single girl, used to go to the store and buy

Now i am a married girl, just rock that cradle and cry

Wish i was a single girl again

Wish i was a single girl again



When a fella comes a' courtin' you, and sits you on his knee,

Keep your eye upon the sparrow that flits from tree to tree

And you'll never wish you were a single girl like me

You'll never wish you were a single girl like me

Wish i was a single girl again
