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      (Repeat 3 times to fade)
