Lyrics
When I was single, I used to be afraid
No one would ever wed me and I'd die a sour old maid
Now I am married and I set me down to weep
'Cause my husband chews tobacco and he snores in his sleep

Oh, Lord, I wish I was a single girl again
Lord, I wish I was a single girl again

When I was single and he used to come to court
He always brought me candy and I thought he was a sport
Now we are married, and what do you think?
He bought a gingham apron and he showed me to the sink

Oh, Lord, I wish I was a single girl again
Lord, I wish I was a single girl again

When I was single, I was lonesome and so blue
All the women with their babies, 'cause I wish I had one, too
Now I've got a baby, he's as sweet as any rose
But ain't it aggravatin' when you have to clean their nose?

Oh, Lord, I wish I was a single girl again
Lord, I wish I was a single girl again
