SINGLE GIRL



Single girl, oh single girl

She's gone anywhere she please

Oh, gone anywhere she please

Married girl, oh married girl

Got a baby on her knees

Oh, got a baby on her knees



Single girl, oh single girl

She's going dressed up so fine

Oh going dressed up so file

Married girl, oh, married girl

She wears any kind

Oh, she wears any kind



Single girl, oh single girl

She goes to the store and buys

Oh goes to the store and buys

Married girl, oh, married girl

She rocks the cradle and cries

Oh, rocks the cradle and cries



Single girl, oh single girl

She lays in bed 'til one

Oh lays in bed 'til one

Married girl, oh, married girl

She's up before the sun

Oh, up before the sun



Single girl, oh single girl

She's looking for a man

Oh looking for a man

Married girl, oh, married girl

She's got her wedding band

Oh, got her wedding band
