When I was single
When dressed all so fine
Now I am married, Lord
Go ragged all the time
Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again
Dishes to wash
And spring to go to
When you are married, Lord
You've got it all to do
Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again
When I was single
My shoes they did squeak
Now I am married, Lord
My shoes they do leak
Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again
Three little children
All lying in the bed
All of them so hungry, Lord
They can't raise up their head
Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again
I wash their little feet
And send them to school
Then comes a drunkard
And calls them a fool
Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again
When I was single
I eat biscuit and pie
Now I am married, Lord
It's eat cornbread or die
Lord, don't I wish I was a single girl again
