I WISH I WAS A SINGLE GIRL AGAIN
As recorded by the Maddox Brothers & Rose on "America's Most Colorful Hillbilly Band, Vol. 1" (1993)

When I was single I used to be afraid
No one would ever wed me and I’d die a sour old maid.
Now I am married and I set me down to weep
‘Cause my husband chaws terbacker and he snores in his sleep

CHORUS: O Lord, I wish I was a single girl again.
Lord, I wish I was a single girl again.

When I was single and he used to come to court,
He always brought me candy and I thought he was a sport.
Now we are married, and what do you think?
He bought a gingham apron and he showed me to the sink.

When I was single I was lonesome and so blue.
All the women with their babies called; I wished I had one too.
Now I’ve got a baby; he’s as sweet as any rose,
But ain’t it aggravatin’ when you have to clean their—nose.*


[* This sounds like one of those jokes where the rhyming word leads you to expect a “naughty” word but they sing an innocent word instead. A male voice even remarks: “I thought you was gonna say somethin’ else!”--but I can’t think what a naughty word rhyming with “rose” would be.]
