When I was a single girl
I'd 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
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 fellow comes a’courtin’ you
And sits you on his knee
Keep your eye upon the sparrow
That flits from tree to tree
Wish I was a single girl again
