When I was a single girl, dressed in clothes so fine.

G      Am7  G       Am7      G      Am      G/B   G7

Now, I am a married girl, go ragged all the time.

C      C(add5) D      Dsus4 G  Am  G/B  Gdim

Wish I was-- a single girl again.

C      C(add5) D      Dsus4 G  Am  G/B  Am7

Wish I was-- a single girl again.

 

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.

 

When I was a single girl, used to go to the store & buy.

Now, I am a married girl, just rock that cradle & cry.

Wish I was a single girl again.

Wish I was a single girl again.

 

When a fella comes a-courtin' you & 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.

And you'll never wish you were a single girl like me.

 

CODA:

C      C(add5) Dsus4  D7-9  G  Am  G

Wish I was-- a single girl again.
