I learned this from a Mary Travers solo on the 1964 Peter, Paul and Mary In Concert album, back when Mary was gorgeous and I was a very impressionable teenage boy. No mention in this song of a drunken man. I'm wondering if that was a PP&M bowlderization. The versions in the DT aren't as harsh as the one Gargoyle posted, but they still have the drunkard.

SINGLE GIRL
Stookey/Travers- Pepamar Music ASCAP

When I was a single girl, dressed in clothes so fine,
Now I am a married girl, go ragged all the time
Wish I was a single girl again
Wish I was a single girl again

When I was a single girl, had shoes of the very best kind
Now I am a married girl, go barefoot all the time
Wish I was a single girl again
Wish I was a single girl again

When I was a single girl, used to go to the store and buy
Now I am a married girl, just rock that cradle and cry
Wish I was a single girl again
Wish I was a single girl again

When a fella comes a' courtin' you, and sits you on his knee,
Keep your eye upon the sparrow that flits from tree to tree
And you'll never wish you were a single girl like me
You'll never wish you were a single girl like me
Wish I was a single girl again
