Jean Shepard - Second Fiddle (To An Old Guitar) lyrics
Artist: Jean Shepard
album: Greatest Hits
(Betty Amos - Guy Willis)
Once we were so happy you were my very own
Then you bought that guitar and ruined our happy home
You told me that your gonna pick your gonna be a star
Well, I'm tired of playing second fiddle to an old guitar.
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.
--- Instrumental ---
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 of key so far
And I'm tired of playing second fiddle to an old guitar.
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.
I walked and preached and fought with you
And tried most everything
If you keep picking that old guitar
Then I'm a gonna sing...
--- Yodels to fade ---
Once we were so happy you were my very own
Then you bought that guitar and ruined our happy home
You told me that your gonna pick your gonna be a star
Well, I'm tired of playing second fiddle to an old guitar.
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 of key so far
And I'm tired of playing second fiddle to an old guitar.
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.
I walked and preached and fought with you
And tried most everything
If you keep picking that old guitar
Then I'm a gonna sing...
