Zora Layman was married to Frank Luther at the time of this recording. She was one of the early female artists in country music. The song continues Bob Miller’s battle of the sexes theme of “Seven Years with the Wrong Man (and Woman)”
Dear friends, I'm the gal you've heard of who was married for seven long years
Bound and chained to the wrong man he brought me only tears
Seven years with that kind of a person is worse than the seven year itch
So I yelled my self hoarse, till I got my divorce, from the man on the flying trapeze
Hurray, listen girls, I'm single, I'm single and free again
Found a judge that was understanding, I'm forever through with men
Ain't a good man in a million carloads, if you married wrong listen to mе
There's only one coursе, get yourself a divorce, with a lot of good alimony
Hurray, listen girls, I'm single, I'm single and free again
I've decided that I love dogs the more I see of men
So girls if you marry the wrong one, don't start bellowing like a lost cat
Find an ocean that's deep, where the sea monsters sleep
Throw your wedding ring in and then laugh
Listen girls, if you're planning to marry, take warning to this song
Marry an old man, one at least ninety, you won't have to stand him so long
Don't fall for a young man's flattery; he's a nuisance, asleep or awake
Some are meek as a lamb, still, no man's worth a damn, they're so low they'd crawl under a snake
It's a grand and glorious feeling to be single and free again
To go and come as you darn please without hearing "now, where've you been?"
Men are filled with Judas kisses; they're natural liars from birth
They're misunderstood, only time that they're good is when they're under six feet of dirt
