Second Fiddle To An Old Guitar (1964)
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 playing second fiddle to an old guitar

You gaze at that guitar on your knee
In a way that you ain't 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

You gaze at that guitar on your knee
In a way that you ain't 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've talked and preached and fought with you and tried most everything
If you keep a-picking that old guitar then I'm a-gonna sing

(Yodel to end)
