[Verse 1]
When I was a single girl
I had clothes of the very best kind
Now that I'm a married girl
Go ragged all the time
[Chorus]
Wish I was a single girl again
Wish I was a single girl again
[Verse 2]
When I was a single girl
I had shoes of the very best kind
Now that I'm a married girl
Go barefoot all the time, mm
[Chorus]
Wish I was a single girl again
Wish I was a single girl again
[Verse 3]
When I was a single girl
Used to go to the store and buy
Now that I'm a married girl
Just rock that cradle and cry
[Chorus]
Wish I was a single girl again
Wish I was a single girl again
[Outro]
When a fellow comes a'courtin' you
And sits you on his knee
Keep your eye upon the sparrow that
Flits from tree to tree
You'll never wish you were a single girl like me
Wish I was a single girl again

What made me decide to cover it was my mum. I sent her the track, and she related its likeness to my grandmother’s life, who, at 20, was rejected from art school after falling pregnant with my mother. So, the concept of wishing to be single again, with options narrowing, felt poignant.
