SECOND FIDDLE
Recorded by Jean Shepard
Submitted by Tom Rivers ([email protected])
ONCE WE WERE SO HAPPY, YOU WERE MY VERY OWN
THEN YOU BOUGHT THAT GUITAR AND RUINED OUR HAPPY HOME
YOU TOLD ME THAT YOU'RE GONNA PICK, YOU'RE GONNA BE A STAR
WELL, I'M TIRED OF PLAYING SECOND FIDDLE TO AN OLD GUITAR
(Chorus)
YOU GAZE AT THAT GUITAR ON YOUR KNEE
IN A WAY THAT YOU NEVER LOOK AT ME
THIS LOVE AFFAIR OF YOURS HAS GONE TOO FAR,
AND I'M TIRED OF PLAYING SECOND FIDDLE TO AN OLD GUITAR
YOU SAID IT WOULDN'T BE LONG, TILL YOU'D BE NUMBER ONE
THAT WE'D HAVE LOTS OF MONEY, AND WE'D HAVE LOTS OF FUN
WELL ALL YOU'VE DONE IS PICK AND GRIN AND SING OFF-KEY SO FAR
AND I'M TIRED OF PLAYING SECOND FIDDLE TO AN OLD GUITAR
(Bridge)
I'VE TALKED AND PREACHED AND FOUGHT WITH YOU AND TRIED MOST EVERYTHING
IF YOU KEEP A'PICKIN' THAT OLD GUITAR THEN I'M A'GONNA SING...
(Jean Shepard modulates to the 6th here, and yodels it home.)
