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.
