    • Verse 1

    She 
    just 
    got 
    home 
    from 
    the 
    doctor's 

    I 
    just 
    got 
    home 
    from 
    the 
    mill 

    She 
    looked 
    a little 
    peaked, 

    her 
    eyes 
    were 
    kind- 
    a streaked 

    I 
    couldn't 
    figure 
    out 
    what 
    made 
    her 
    ill 

    She 
    looked 
    a 
    little 
    weepish, smiled 

    kinda 
    sheepish 

    The 
    answer 
    hit 
    me 
    like 
    a 
    hickory 
    mall 

    I 
    throwed 
    my 
    dinner 
    bucket 
    down 

    Yelled 
    like 
    my 
    trailin' 
    hound 
    I 

    was 
    gonna 
    be 
    a 
    daddy 
    after 
    all 

    Verse 2
    Now 
    the 
    waitin' 

    Anticip
    atin' 

    Rock- 
    a- bye 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    be 
    a 
    daddy 
    now! 

    Interlude 1


    Verse 3
    Well 
    the 
    weeks 
    went 
    by 
    kinda 
    sweetly, 

    then 
    all 
    at 
    once 

    I 
    thought 
    she'd 
    lost 
    her 
    mind 

    She 
    would 
    rant, 
    she 
    would 
    rave, 

    for 
    the 
    things 
    she 
    would 
    crave 

    Like 
    ice 
    cream 
    and sauerkraut 

    combined 

    She 
    wanted 
    watermelon, 

    it 
    was 
    wintertime 

    Dill 
    pickles 
    set 
    around 
    the house 
    in 
    jars 

    My 
    how 
    she'd 
    eat 
    that 
    stuff, 

    she 
    never 
    seemed 
    to 
    get 
    enough 

    And 
    at 
    3am she'd 
    want 
    candy 
    bars 

    Oh, 

    Verse 4
    Now the 
    waitin' 

    Anticipat
    in' 

    Rock- 
    a- 
    bye 

    I'm 
    gonna 
    be 
    a 
    daddy 
    now! 

    Interlude 2



    Verse 5
    Well 
    at 
    last 
    the 
    time 
    was 
    drawin' 
    near, 

    I 
    began 
    to walk 
    and 
    pace 
    and 
    sweat 

    The 
    doctor 
    said: 
    Now 
    son, 

    I 
    know 
    this 
    ain't 
    no 
    fun 

    But 
    we 
    ain't 
    never 
    lost 
    a Daddy 
    yet 

    I 
    stood 
    up 
    and 
    set 
    down, 

    I 
    even 
    though 
    of leavin' 
    town 

    The 
    doctor 
    and 
    nurse 
    came 
    out 
    all 
    grins 

    They 
    said: 
    Buck 
    up 
    my 
    boy 
    you 

    should 
    shout 
    with 
    joy, 

    You're 
    the 
    Daddy 
    of 
    a pair 

    of bouncin' 
    twins! 

    Verse 6
    No 
    more 
    waitin, 
    anticipat
    in' 
    rock- 
    a- 
    bye, 

    I'm 
    a 
    Daddy 
    now!

      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

      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 🙂

      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!!!

      This is the best guitar tuner ever.

      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.
