When I was a single girl
Dressed in clothes so fine
Now I am a married girl
Go ragged all the timeWish I was a single girl again
Wish I was a single girl againWhen I was a single girl
Had shoes of the very best kind
Now I am a married girl
Go barefoot all the timeWish I was a single girl again
Wish I was a single girl againWhen I was a single girl
Used to go to the store and buy
Now I am a married girl
Just rock that cradle and cryWish I was a single girl again
Wish I was a single girl againWhen a fella comes a' courtin' you
And sits you on his knee
Keep your eye upon the sparrow
That flits from tree to treeAnd 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
