[Intro]
Join with me now in bringing to the stage a young lady whose name always appears last whenever you see or you hear the three names together, but who is generally first in the minds of every man. Ladies and gentlemen, Miss Mary Travers. 

[Verse 1]
When I was a single girl, dressed in clothes so fine
Now I am a married girl, go ragged all the time
Wish I was a single girl again
Wish I was a single girl again

[Verse 2]
When I was a single girl, had shoes of the very best kind
Now I am a married girl, go barefoot all the time
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 I am a married girl, just rock that cradle and cry
Wish I was a single girl again
Wish I was a single girl again

[Verse 4]
When a fella comes a' courtin' you, and sits you on his knee
Keep your eye upon the sparrow that flits from tree to tree
And 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
