[Verse 1]
D G
I'd rather be a single girl, sailin' on the sea
Than to be a married girl, With a baby on my knee
With a baby on my knee

[Verse 2]
A single girl, a single girl, dresses nice and neat
But a married girl, a married girl, no shoes upon her feet
No shoes upon her feet

[Verse 3]
A single girl, a single girl, lays in bed til one
But a married girl, a married girl, gets up before the sun

[Verse 4]
A single girl, a single girl, goes to the store and buys
But a married girl, a married girl, gotta rock the cradle and cry
Gotta rock the cradle and cry

[Verse 5]
When I was a single girl boys all courted me
I would move from man to man, just like a honey bee

[Verse 6]
Single girl is free to roam, where ever love is found
Now that I'm a married girl, I can't get to town
I can't get to town

[Verse 7]
I'd rather be a single girl, sailin' on the sea
Than to be a married girl, with a baby on my knee
With a baby on my knee
