When I was a single girl
Had clothes of the very best kind
Now that I'm 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 that I'm 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 that I'm 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
You'll never wish you were a single girl, like me
Wish I was a single girl again
