lyrics

Oh, I wish I was single again, again
I wish I was single again
Oh, if I was single, my pockets woulds jingle
I wish I was single again

I took me a wife, oh then, oh then,
I took me a wife, oh then
I took me a wife, she's the plague of my life
I wish I was single again

My wife got a fever, oh then, oh then
My wife got a fever, oh then,
My wife got a fever, I hope it won't leave 'er
For then I'll be single again

I wish I was single again, again
I wish I was single again
Oh, if I was single, my pockets woulds jingle
I wish I was single again

My wife she died, oh then, oh then
My wife she died, oh then
My wife she died, an' I laughed till I cried
For now I am single again

Oh, I went to the wake, oh then, oh then
I went to the wake, oh then
I went to the wake, but not for the sake
But to view the young women again

I went to the funeral then, oh then
I went to the funeral then
Oh, the music did play and I danced on the grace
For now I am single again

I took me another one then, oh then
I took me another one then
Oh, I tookme another, she's worse than the other
I wish I were single again

Come all you young men who have wives
Come all you young men who have none
Be kind to the first for the second is worse
I wish I was single again

Oh, I wish I was single again, again
I wish I was single again
Oh, if I was single, my pockets woulds jingle
I wish I was single again
