When I was single, Lord I dressed so fine Now that I'm married, Lord, I go ragged all the time Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again
Got the dishes to wash and the spring to do to When you are married, Lord you've got it all to do Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again
I got three little babies lying in the bed One of them's so weary Lord, he can't raise up his head Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again
Along comes that drunkard and he call them all a bunch of fools So I wash their little feet and I send them off to school Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again
When I was single, I ate biscuits and pie Now that I'm married, it's eat cornbreador die Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again
When I was single, marrying was all I craved Now that I'm married, Lord, I'll go troubled to my grave Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again Yeah, Oh, Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again.
