I married a man, oh then
I married a man, oh then
I married a man
He was the plague of my life
Oh and I wish I was single again

I wish I was single again
'Cause when I was single my pockets did jingle
And I wish I was single again

And then he beat me he banged me, oh then
He beat me he banged me, oh then
He beat me he banged me
He swore he would hang me
And I wish I was single again

He went for the rope, oh then
He went for the rope, oh then
He went for the rope
And I think think I was broke
And then I wish I was single again

I wish I was single again
'Cause when I was single my pockets did jingle
And I wish I was single again

And then my husband he died, oh then
My husband he died, oh then
My husband he died
And I laughed 'til I cried
Oh, to think I was single again

I married another, oh then
I married another, oh then
I married another
He's the devils grandfather
Oh, I wish I was single again

I wish I was single again
'Cause when I was single my pockets did jingle
And I wish I was single again

And then he beat me he banged me, oh then
He beat me he banged me, oh then
He beat me he banged me
He swore he would hang me
And I wish I was single again
