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

Once we were so happy, you were my very own 

But then you bought that guitar and you 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 ain't never looked at me 

This love affair of yours has gone too far 

And I'm tired of playin' 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 all piece so far 

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

You gaze at that guitar on your knee 

In a way that you ain't never looked at me 

This love affair of yours has gone too far 

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