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 Wish I was a single girl again Wish I was a single girl again 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 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 I fella comes a'courting 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
