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
