When I was single

the life I led was mine

Thought that when I married

I'd be happy al the time



Lord I wish I was

A single girl again

Lord I wish I was

A single girl again



When I was a single girl

The boys all courted me

I would move from man to man

Just like a honeybee

Single girls are free to roam

Wherever love is found

Now that I am married Lord

You know I can't get to town - no no



Lord I wish I was

A single girl again

Lord I wish I was

A single girl again



First he said he loved me

And now he treats me like a slave

The burden of this married life

I carry to my grave



Lord I wish I was

A single girl again

Lord I wish I was

A single girl again
