Riley Puckett

Biography:

George Riley Puckett (7 May 1894 - 14 July 1946) was a country music pioneer, born in Alpharetta, Georgia, USA. An accident during infancy left him blind.

He sang and played guitar and banjo. He was first heard on the radio as a part of Clayton McMichen's Hometown Band; he was also a member of Gid Tanner & His Skillet Lickers. (& see Gid Tanner & the Skillet Lickers)

'Rock All Our Babies to Sleep' established him as probably the first country-music artist to yodel on records.

[Verse 1]
C
I wished I was single again,
C G7
I wished I was single again,
C F
And when I was single, my pockets did jingle,
G7 C
And I wished I was single again.

[Verse 2]
C
I married me a wife, oh then,
C G7
I married me a wife, oh then.
C F
I married me a wife, the joy of my life,
G7 C
But I wished I was single again.

[Verse 3]
C
She beat me, she banged me, oh then,
C G7
She beat me, she banged me, oh then.
C F
She beat me, she banged me, she swore she would hang me,
G7 C
But I wished I was single again.

[Verse 4]
C
She went for the rope, oh then
C G7
She went for the rope, oh then.
C F
She went for the rope, when she got there 'twas broke--
G7 C
But I wished I was single again.

[Verse 5]
C
My wife, she died, oh then,
C G7
My wife, she died, oh then.
C F
My wife, she died, and I laughed 'til I cried
G7 C
To think I was single again.

[Verse 6]
C
I went to the funeral, oh then
C G7
I went to the funeral, oh then
C F
I went to the funeral, and danced yankee doodle
G7 C
To think I was single again.

[Verse 7]
C
I married me another, oh then,
C G7
I married me another, oh then.
C F
I married another, the Devil's grandmother;
G7 C
I wish I was single again.

[Verse 8]
C
I wished I was single again,
C G7
I wished I was single again,
C F
And when I was single, my pockets did jingle,
G7 C
But I wished I was single again.

[Verse 9]
C
But I married me a wife, oh then,
C G7
I married me a wife, oh then.
C F
I married me a wife, the joy of my life,
G7 C
But I wished I was single again.
