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
