D
Old Catahoula Brown
lived back in the swamp
G
with his dogs and a bunch of sons.
C
One teenage daughter named Silas Sue,
D
she was as pretty as a newborn fawn.
And he didn't like sinners,
and he didn't like saints,
G
and he didn't like anything.
C
But as much as he disliked
everybody else,
D
he just hated old Silas Gray.
Sally Sue come in on a Saturday evening
G
as the sun was going down.
C
She said, Papa, if it's alright with you,
D
well, I think I'm gonna go to town.
He said, daughter,
you get on back in the house,
G
cause you ain't going no place
C
until you get them ribbons
out of your hair
D
and wash the makeup off of your face.
C
D
She said, Papa,
C
don't you be so hard on me,
G
cause I just got a date
C
With this boy I met in Sunday school
D
And we ain't gonna be out late
And then she walked on up
to the rural route
G
And she caught herself a ride
C
But you won't know,
from Sunday school
D
There was a -sittin' on the other side
It was Silas Green's youngest son
Bobby Joe sittin' under
that starin' wheel
Alligator, alligator
Swimmin' in the street
Alligator, alligator
What makes you so mean?
Alligator, alligator,
I wonder where you've been.
And did you swallow old
C
Catahoula Brown?
I ain't never seen him
G
D
Dm
again.
D
Catahoula got up on Sunday morning,
G
made some coffee,
and I had him a cup.
C
Then he walked on out
to the back of the house
D
to get his pretty daughter up.
Dm
He went running in the room
D
where the boys all slept, hollering,
G
get up, something ain't right.
C
And I'm worried to death
because your darling little sister
D
didn't even come home last night.
Johnny said, Papa, don't be mad at me.
G
I sure hate to tell you this.
C
But I seen her in town
with Bobby Joe Green,
D
and I even seen her give him a kiss.
And I tried to get her to come on back,
G
but she told me to leave her alone.
C
She said Dave was getting mad
before the sun come up
D
and she wasn't ever
coming home
Caterpillar grabbed the boy
by the nap of the neck
G
and he slapped him upside the head
C
He said before I see her
married to that trash
D
I'd rather see the little girl dead
And then he whistled up his dog
and he grabbed his gun,
G
he was full of evil and might
C
He went running across the woods,
hollering silas green,
D
his bunch are gonna die tonight
Then a day went by
and he didn't come back
G
And another went by in a week
C
And when the boys went looking
All they found was his shotgun
D
Laying on the bottom of the creek
And then they found his boots
And they found his cap
G
But they couldn't find anything else
C
Except a big fat alligator
D
Sitting on a log
Looking mighty proud of itself
It don't pay to hate somebody so bad
You go stomping around
in gator country
Alligator, alligator,
swimmin' in the stream
Alligator, alligator,
what makes you so mean?
Alligator, alligator,
I wonder where you've been
C
Did you squatter on Ca tahoula Brown?
C
D
G
D

D
I ain't never seen him again you

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

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