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

[Verse 2]
Clothes for to wash, spring to go to
When you are married there's everything to do
Lord, I wished I was a single girl again

[Verse 3]
Five little children lying in the bed
All of them so hungry they can't rise up their head
Lord, I wished I was a single girl again

[Verse 4]
When I was single, dressed in silk so fine
Now I am married, go ragged all the time
Lord, I wished I was a single girl again
