    Verse 1
    The trees 
    they 
    grow 
    tall, 

    the 
    grass 
    is 
    growing 
    green; 

    Many a 
    cold 
    and 
    winter 
    night 

    that 
    alone 
    have 
    been. 

    It 
    is 
    a cold 
    and 
    cruel 
    night 
    when 
    must 
    lie 
    alone, 


    The Bonny 
    Boy 
    is 
    young, 

    but 
    he 
    is growing. 

    Verse 2
    Oh! 
    father, 

    dear 
    father 
    think 
    you 
    done 
    me 
    wrong 

    To 
    go 
    and 
    get 
    me 
    married 
    to 

    one 
    who 
    is 
    so 
    young. 

    For 
    he 
    is 
    only 
    six
    teen 
    years 

    and 
    am 
    twenty- 
    one. 

    The 
    bonny 
    boy 
    is 
    young 
    but 

    he's 
    growing. 


    Verse 3
    Oh! 
    daughter, 
    dear 
    daughter

    I did 
    not 
    do 
    you wrong 

    For 
    have 
    married 
    you 
    to 

    a rich 
    man's 
    son 

    And 
    he 
    shall 
    be 
    a match 
    for thee 
    when 

    I am 
    dead 
    and 
    gone. 

    He is young, 

    but 
    he is daily 
    growing. 

    Verse 4
    Oh! 
    father, 
    dear 
    father, 

    I'll 
    tell 
    you 
    what I'll 
    do; 

    I'll send 
    the boy 
    to 
    college 
    for 

    an
    other 
    year 
    or 
    two; 

    And all 
    around 
    his 
    col
    lege 
    cap, 

    I'll 
    bind 
    a rib
    bon blue, 

    For 
    to let 
    the ladies 
    know 

    that 
    he's 
    married. 

    Verse 5
    A year 
    it went 
    by 
    and 

    passed 
    the 
    college 
    wall 

    And 
    saw 
    the young 
    collegi
    ans 

    a- playing 
    at 
    the 
    ball; 

    Amidst 
    them 
    was my 
    own 
    true 
    love, 

    the fairest 
    of 
    them all, 

    He was 
    young 
    but 
    he was 

    daily 
    growing. 

    Verse 6
    At the 
    age 
    of 
    sixteen 
    he was 

    a married 
    man, 

    And at 
    the age 
    of seventeen 

    he was 
    the father 
    of a son, 

    At 
    the 
    age 
    of 
    eighteen, 

    his 
    grave 
    had 
    all 
    grown 
    green; 

    And the death 
    put 
    an end 
    to 

    his 
    growing. 

    Verse 7
    I'll 
    make 
    my 
    love 
    a shroud 

    of ornamental 
    brown; 

    And 
    whilst 
    I am 
    a making 
    it, 

    the 
    tears 
    they will 
    run 
    down; 

    For once 
    had 
    my 
    own 
    love, 

    now 
    he's ly
    ing 
    low, 

    And 
    I'll 
    nurse 
    his bonny 
    boy 
    while 

    he's 
    growing.

    • 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.
