Songs - Single Again (continued)
“When i was a single young man-”
(continued from previous page)Again and again and again;
Again and again and again,
Sweet music did play, and I danc’d all the way
For I knew I was single again.I married another & then - I married another & then -
I married another, far worse than the other,
And I wish I was single again;
Again and again and again,
Again and again and again,
I married another, far worse than the other,
And I wish I was single again.New, all you young men who have wives and all you young men who have non,
Be kind to the first, for the next is the worst,
And you’ll wish you were single again.- By Aranmore where the oceans weeping
Friends are weeping for their loved ones dear
Their dear departed who met disaster
In coming home o'er the ocean drearBy migratory labour they made their living(continues on next page)- Collector
