On Single Girl Bùmarang give an Appalachian English-folk song new life in a timeless lament over what is given up and gained in marriage. They fuse harp, flute and fiddle, and are accompanied by Leif Vollebekk on guitar and moogs.

lyrics

When I was a single girl
My clothes were so fine
And now that I'm a married girl
Go ragged all the time
When I was a single girl
My shoes were the very best kind
And now that I'm a married girl
Go barefoot all the time

Don't I wish I was a single girl again
Good lord
I wish I was a single girl again

With three little children
Crying for their bread
And with none to give them
I'd rather be dead
When I was a single girl
Used to go to the stores to buy
And now that I'm a married girl
Just rock that cradle and cry

Don't I wish I was a single girl again
Good lord
I wish I was a single girl again
Wish I was a single girl again
Good lord
I wish I was a single girl again

Single, single, single I'd remain
I'd never trust no man with my happiness again
Single, single, single I'd remain
I'd never trust no man

So when a man comes a courting you
And sits you on his knee
Keep your eye on the sparrow
That flits from tree to tree
And you'll never wish you were a single girl
Like me
You'll never wish you were a single girl

Don't I wish I was a single girl again
Good lord
I wish I was a single girl again
Wish I was a single girl again
Good lord
I wish I was a single girl again
