Wish I was a single girl again

Unfortunately, most of us will have a great or great great granddaughter that has decided that a certain young man is just the right man for her.  In most cases the young man is an absolute ZERO.  Following is a country-western song that was popular is my younger days.  Jo Stafford made a best selling record of this song.  If it won't convince your sweet little grand daughter that she is making a mistake, nothing will. I can't remember the melody, but I've never forgotten the lyrics.

When I was a single girl, I dressed in silks so fine,
Now I am a married girl, go ragged all the time,
Wish I was a single girl again.

When I was a single girl, every day was fun,
Now I am a married girl, work is never done.
Wish I was a single girl again.

When I was a single girl, I ate cherry pie,
Now I am a married girl, and eat corn bread or die.
Wish I was a single girl again.

When I was a single girl, I had shoes of the very best kind,
Now I am a married girl, go barefoot all the time.
Wish I was a single girl again.

When I was a single girl, I traveled all around,
Now I am a married girl, can't even get to town.
Wish I was a single girl again.

When I was a single girl, used to go to the store and buy,
Now I am a married girl, just rock the cradle and cry.
Wish I was a single girl again.

When a fella comes a courtin' you, and sits you on his knee,
Keep your eye upon the sparrow that flits from tree to tree.
And you'll never have to wish you were a single girl then,
I wish I was a single girl again.
