Jean Shepard - Second Fiddle (to An Old Guitar) lyrics

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

I'm tired of playin' 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 playin' second fiddle to an old guitar

[ ac.guitar ]

You say 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

I'm tired of playin' second fiddle to an old guitar

You gaze at that guitar on your knee...

I walked and preached and fought with you and tried most everything

If you keep a pickin' an old guitar and I'm a gonna sing (yodel)
