Single Girl
Traditional Appalachian/old-time song

Single girl, single girl, she's going dressed so fine;Oh she lives all alone and she thinks she'll change her mind.

Married girl, married girl, she wears a raggedy shawl;She drinks from an old tin cup but she ain't ashamed at all.

Single girl, single girl, she goes to the store;Gets as much as she can carry and then she goes back for more.

Married girl, married girl, she rocks the cradle and cries;Washes and irons and cooks and sews and wipes the baby's eyes.
