Name: Single Girl Married Girl
Duration: P00H03M16S
Description: A quick little song to finish off the album. It's written by the Carter Family. About the differences between a single girl and a married girl at the time the song was written which was 1935. Life was certainly different for woman at this time. It seems to makes it sound more appealing to be single than to be tied down with children in a marriage. Go feminism 1935! :)

lyrics

Single girl, single girl, she's going dressed fine
Oh, she's going dressed fine
Married girl, married girl, she wears just any kind
Oh, she wears just any kind

[Instrumental break]

Single girl, single girl, she goes to the store and buys
Oh, she goes to the store and buys
Married girl, married girl, she rocks the cradle and cries
Oh, she rocks the cradle and cries

[Instrumental break]

Single girl, single girl, she's going where she please
Oh, she's going where she please
Married girl, married girl, baby on her knees
Oh, baby on her knees
