Single Girl
(Jeni & Billy - Click Title for Lyrics)
May 1, 2010
Traditional, arranged by Jeni & Billy
A favorite song of ours popularized by The Carter Family. We liked to try this one in the folk song competitions at Fiddler's Conventions.
Single girl, single girl
She’s going dressed so fine
O, she’s going dressed so fine
Married girl, married girl,
She wears just any kind
O, she wears just any kind
Single girl, single girl
She’s going where she please
O, she’s going where she please
Married girl, married girl,
Got a baby on her knees
O, got a baby on her knees
Single girl, single girl
She goes the store and buys
O, She goes the store and buys
Married girl, married girl,
She rocks the cradle & cries
O, she rocks the cradle & cries
