    One 
    time 
    went down 
    to Jamaica 

    To 
    a place 
    called 
    Rose 

    Hall 
    Plantation 

    They grow 
    lot 
    of sugar
    cane 

    And toma
    toes 
    and things 
    at 
    Rose 
    Hall 

    Now 
    it 
    used to be 

    Just 
    a sugarcane 
    plantation 

    back

    In the days of 

    Slavery 
    and they tell 
    stories 
    about 
    the 

    Place 
    and about 
    the great 
    house 
    at Rose 

    Hall, 
    that many, 
    many 
    years 
    ago 

    There came 
    from 
    the country 
    of 

    Haiti 
    a lady 
    named 
    Annie 

    Palmer 
    who lived 
    in that great 

    House 
    there 
    and she 

    Was 
    the mistress 
    of 

    the plantation 
    she was 

    The boss 
    her 
    word was 
    law 
    well, they tell 

    A lot 
    of tales 
    about 
    Annie 
    they say 
    she 

    Had 
    three 
    husbands, 
    one at 
    a time 

    I guess 
    but they 
    also 
    tell 
    tales 
    about 
    Annie 

    And 
    the slaves 
    there were 
    about 

    000 slaves 
    on the plantation 

    she 
    had her 

    Favorites 
    and 
    she had 
    the ones 

    That 
    weren't 
    her favorites 
    well 

    Down 
    on 
    the sea, 
    there 

    Are three 
    tall 
    palm 
    trees 

    Waving 
    in 
    the breeze 

    And they 
    say 
    that 
    maybe 
    Annie 

    Palmer
    's 
    three 

    Husbands 
    are 
    bur
    ied 
    under 
    those 

    Interlude 1
    palm 
    trees 



    Verse 2
    On 
    the 
    island 
    of 
    Ja
    maica 

    Quite 
    long 
    long 
    time 
    ago 

    At 
    Rose 
    Hall 
    Planta
    tion 

    Where 
    the 
    ocean 
    breezes 
    blow 

    Lived 
    girl 
    named 
    Annie 
    Palmer 

    The 
    mistress 
    of 
    the 
    place 

    And 
    the slaves 
    all 
    lived 
    in 
    fear 
    to 

    See 
    a frown 
    on 
    Annie's 
    face 


    Verse 3
    Where's 
    your 
    hus
    band

    Where's

    • 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.
