[Verse 1]
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,
[D]And I wish I was single aga[G]in, again,
Wish [D]I was single a[G]gain.
I married me a wife, oh then, oh then,
I married me a wife, oh [D]then,
I married [G]me a wife she's the [C]curse of
my life and I [D]wish I was single again
[G]again wish I w[D]as single agai[G]n my wife
she died oh then oh then my wife she
died [D]oh then my [G]wife she died [D]and I
[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
And then, I married me another
Oh, [D]then, I [G]married me another,
The [C]devil's stepmother
And I [D]wish I was single again, [G]again
[D]Wish I was [G]single again
Well that's fine
Very nice
Burl
But do you really think a single
man is better off than a married man?
Well, is a wild horse who's [D]got the whole prairie to
gallop around on better off than a [D]horse who's pulling a wagon?
There comes a [D]time in the life of every man when he
must decide between galloping and getting hitched
Personally,
I cotton to the double harness myself
Discuss this thing musically, let's go
