A Song - I Wish I Were Single Again (continued)
“I married a wife o then o then ¶ I married a wife o then,”
(continued from previous page)laughing,
For now I am single again.VI
I brought her to the grave oh then, oh then,
I brought her to the grave oh then,
I brought her to the grave and I buried her so brave,
For now I am single again.VII
Oh! I married another o then o then,
I married another o then,
I married another twice worse than the others
How I'd long to be single again.VIII
Now all you young men who have wives o then,
And all you men who have none
Be careful of the first for the second might be worse
I wish I were single again.IX
I wish I were single again, again,
How I wish I were single again,
For if I were single my money would jingle
I wish I were single again ha, ha.- Collector
