I Ain't Gonna Play No Second Fiddle (LaVern Baker Sings Bessie Smith)

I Ain't Gonna Play No Second Fiddle - LaVern Baker

Let me tell you daddy

Mama ain't gonna sit here and grieve

Pack up your stuff and get ready to leave

I stood your foolishness long enough

So now papa I'm gonna call your bluff

Oh certain face I'm gonna call your hand

So now daddy here's my plan

Ain't gonna play no second fiddle

I'm used to playin' lead

You must think that I am blind

You've been cheatin' me all the time

Whoa if you still flirt

And you'll notice I ain't hurt

To see you with my chum

Do you think that I am dumb

You 'cause me to drink

When I sit down and think

And I never see to take heed

I call to your house the other night

Caught you and your good girl

Havin' a fight

I ain't gonna play no second fiddle

I'm used to playin' lead

I caught you with your

Good time tramp

So now papa I'm gonna

Put out your lamp

Now papa I ain't sore

You ain't gonna to mess with me no more

I'm gonna flirt with another she

Then you're gonna hang your head an' wait

I ain't gonna play no second fiddle

'Cause I'm used to playin' lead
