When I was single, I always dressed so fine
Now that I’m married, I go ragged all the time
And I wish I was a single girl again
Oh, I wish I was a single girl again.
When I was single, I ate ice cream and pie
Now that I’m married, it’s cornbread or die
And I wish I was a single girl again
Oh, I wish I was a single girl again.
When I was single, marryin’ I did crave
Now that I’m married, I’m worse than a slave
And I wish I was a single girl again
Oh, I wish I was a single girl again.
Big old no good old husband, layin’ there in bed
So tired and lazy, can’t lift up his head
And I wish I was a single girl again
Oh, I wish I was a single girl again.
Lay in bed and jump a mile, at the slightest noise
Big protectin’ husband, out with the boys
And I wish I was a single girl again
Oh, I wish I was a single girl again.
Clean the house and wash the clothes, then it’s time to cook
