I Wish I Was A Single Girl Again

(Harlan Howard)

When I was single
I went dressed up so fine
Now I am married Lord
And I go ragged all the time

Oh Lord don't I wish I was a single girl again

I got dishes to wash
And springs to go to
When you are married Lord
You know you got it all to do

Oh Lord don't I wish I was a single girl again yeah
Oh Lord don't I wish I was a single girl again
Oh Lord don't I wish I was a single girl again

►#1 is base text. Variants in #2:
l. 9: omits 'know you';
after l. 9 this refrain and stanza:
'Oh Lord don't I wish I was a single girl again

When I was single
My shoes they did squeak
But now that I am married Lord
You know my shoes they do leak'.
