[Verse 1]
When I was a single girl
I had clothes of the very best kind
Now that I'm a married girl
Go ragged all the time
[Chorus]
Wish I was a single girl again
Wish I was a single girl again
[Verse 2]
When I was a single girl
I had shoes of the very best kind
Now that I'm a married girl
Go barefoot all the time, mm
[Chorus]
Wish I was a single girl again
Wish I was a single girl again
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
Wish I was a single girl again
Wish I was a single girl again
[Outro]
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
You'll never wish you were a single girl like me
Wish I was a single girl again
