about

I Wish I Were a Single Girl Again is a banjo heavy version of the tune that comes from the stellar singing and playing of Roscoe Holcomb. Hilary combined this with parts of his version of Coal Creek March. We really felt the magic behind the groove of this tune and decided to put it first on the album.

lyrics

Two little babes
Lyin’ in bed
Both of them so hungry
They can’t lift up their heads

Lord I wish I was a single girl again!

Dishes to wash and the spring to go to
When you are married
You got it all to do

Lord I wish I was a single girl again!

When I was single
Marryins all I craved
Now that I am married
I go troubled to my grave

Lord I wish I was a single girl again!

When I was single
I dressed so fine
Now that I am married
I go ragged all the time!

Lord I wish I was a single girl again!
