Ain't Gonna Play No 2nd Fiddle
Bessie Smith
Continues after the ad
Let me tell you, Daddy, momma ain't gonna sit here and grieve
Pack up your duds an' 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
I ain't gonna play no second fiddle
I'm used to playin' lead
Continues after the ad
You must think that I am blind
You've been cheatin' me all the time
But if you still flirt
And you notice how it hurt
To see you with my chum
Do you think that I am dumb?
You've caused me to drink
When I sit down an' think
And see that you never take heed
I called to your house the other night
Caught you and your good gal havin' a fight
