I Ain't Gonna Play No Second Fiddle
Bessie Smith
Let me tell you daddy,"¨
Momma ain't gonna sit and grieve"¨
Pack up your stuff and get ready to leave"¨"¨
I stood your foolishness long enough,
"¨So now I'm gonna call your bluff"¨
On certain things
I'm gonna call your hand,"¨
so, now daddy here's my plan"¨"¨
Ain't gonna play no second fiddle 'cause
"¨I'm used to playin' lead
"¨"¨You must think that I am blind,"¨
You've been cheatin' me all the time"¨
Whoa yeah, 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 see that you never take heed
"¨I called to your house the other night,
"¨Caught you and your good girl havin' a fight
"¨"¨I ain't gonna play no second fiddle 'cause"¨
I'm used to playin lead
"¨"¨I caught you with your good-time vamp,
"¨So, now poppa I'm gonna put out your lamp"¨
Oh, poppa, I ain't sore
"¨You ain't gonna mess up with me no more
"¨I'm gonna flirt with another shiek,"¨
then you're gonna hang your head an' weep"¨"¨
Ain't gonna play no second fiddle 'cause
"¨I'm used to playin' lead
