I'll Never Slip Around Again

"I'll Never Slip Around Again" is a country music song written and performed by Floyd Tillman and released in 1949. It was a follow-up song to Tillman's "Slippin' Around" that was released earlier in 1949. The follow-up song was released in October 1949 and reached No. 6 on the Billboard folk best sellers chart in October 1949. A cover version by Margaret Whiting and Jimmy Wakely peaked at No. 2 on the folk best sellers and juke box lists in November 1949.

The song used essentially the same melody as "Slippin' Around". The lyrics tell a follow-up story in which the cheating couple from the original song has married and is in turn worried that they are being cheated on.
