      G
Oh, I wished I was single again, again,

I wished I was single again,
   G                    C
Oh when I was single my pockets did jingle,

Well, my wife up and died, oh then, oh then,
                        D
My wife up and died, oh then
   G                      C
My wife up and died and I laughed till I cried
   D                   G
To think I was single again, again,

To think I was single again
