  • Verse 1
    Every 
    town 
    has 
    its town 
    bum 

    I guess 
    ours 
    had 
    one 

    Here's a 
    song 
    about him, 

    I remember 
    him 
    fondly 

    Well 
    his 
    name 
    was 
    Abner 
    Brown 

    Verse 2

    I knew 
    an old 
    drunk 
    named 

    Abner 
    Brown 

    And nobody 
    knew 
    when he came 

    to town 

    But he spread 
    good will 
    to 

    his 
    fellow 
    men 

    And they 
    let him 
    sleep 

    in the 
    cotton 
    gin 

    Verse 3
    He could 
    drink 
    more 
    brew 

    than 
    an army 
    could 

    But he 
    had more 
    friends 
    and 

    he 
    did 
    more 
    good 

    Than a 
    lot 
    of fine 
    fancy 
    people 
    in our 
    town 

    So 
    they 
    tolerated 
    Abner 
    Brown 

    Verse 4
    And all 
    us kids 
    were 
    on 
    his side 

    'Cause he 
    told 
    us tales 
    till 
    our 

    eyes 
    grew 
    wide 

    And he made 
    us 
    feel 
    bout ten 
    feet 
    tall 

    'Cause 
    he had no 
    kid
    s but 

    he claimed 
    us 
    all 

    Verse 5
    And after 
    school 
    and on 

    weekend

    You could 
    find 
    me 
    down 
    at the 
    cotton 
    gin 

    The 
    truest 
    friend 
    that 
    ever 
    found 
    was 

    A good 
    old drunk 
    named 
    Abner 
    Brown 

    Abner 
    Brown, 
    I wish 
    that 
    I could 
    Verse 6

    see 
    you once 
    again 

    believe 
    that you'd 
    stack 

    up with 
    all 
    the 
    mighty 
    men 

    I've 
    met 
    and known 
    in all 
    the low 

    And 
    higher 
    places 
    that 
    I've been 

    Verse 7
    Thinking 
    of 
    you picks 
    me 

    up when 
    I'm feeling 
    down 

    thank 
    the Lord 
    for 
    making 
    Abner 
    Brown 

    Verse 8

    Lord 
    take 
    me back 
    to the 
    cotton 
    land 

    To 
    Arkansas 
    take 
    me 
    home 
    again 

    Let me 
    be 
    the boy 
    that I 

    once 
    have 
    been 

    Let me 
    walk 
    that road 
    to 
    the 
    cotton 
    gin 

    Verse 9
    He's 
    probably 
    dead 
    many 
    years 
    ago 

    And 
    gone 
    the 
    way 
    that 
    old drunks 
    go 

    But 
    I'd still 
    like 
    to sit 
    me 
    down 

    Talk 
    to 
    my old 
    friend, 
    Abner 
    Brown 

    Verse 10
    Abner 
    Brown, 
    wish 



    I thank 
    the Lord 
    for 
    making 

    Abner 
    Brown

    • Best Tuning App Ever

      MaddProfessor

      I've downloaded many tuning apps before and this one is by far the best. Easy to use, super user-friendly, and they have a bunch of fun different chords and songs to help you learn new music. I highly recommend.

    • Well-Designed App

      Rose the Black Cat

      I mostly use this for tuning my guitar, which this app makes ridiculously easy. It also has a large selection of songs to play along to and it helps show you which chords to play as well how to make the shapes with your fingers.

    • Got me back into playing

      Tuliketsune

      I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂

    • Secret weapon

      Brad

      Not only is it a tuner (best app tuner I've used personally) but it also has a metronome, games, chords, and a plethora of instruments to choose from and it's SUPER easy to navigate. I love it! Thanks for making an awesome app. From one musician to another, THANKS!!!

    • Very reliable tuner

      theNewPaul

      This is a great app! Very easy to use and very reliable, if you are just starting out, you can take a big worry off your mind, by getting in tune quickly and easily with this app. Highly recommended!

    • This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      Caleb Schafli

      It tunes your guitar accurately so you can get the best sound. I like all the other little games as well because they teach you how to play different chords and you can learn to identify the chords by listening to them and it is all offline.

    • Great to tune and play

      Lynae T

      I love how easy it is to tune and find and play my favorite songs.
