When [G]I was single, oh then, oh then,
When I was single, [D]oh then,
When I [G]was single, [D]my [C]money did jingle,

Wish [D]I was single a[G]gain.
I married me a wife, oh then, oh then,

[C]laughed till I cried to [D]think I was
single again again think I was single [G]again
I married me another oh then oh
