    • Verse 1
    I 
    went 
    to the station 

    and I 
    waved my hand 
    bye -bye 

    Mama's 
    gone, 
    Mama's 
    gone 

    I 
    went 
    to the station 

    and I 
    waved my hand 
    bye -bye 

    Mama's 
    gone, 
    Mama's 
    gone 

    Mama 
    never 
    left us 
    kids before 

    There were 
    just three of 
    us, 

    me, 
    my little brother, 

    and my little 
    sister. 

    Before Mama 
    went away, 

    she 
    said, Now Mark, 

    you take 
    care of your little brother 

    and your little sister 

    and 
    your daddy while 
    I'm gone. 

    I couldn't 
    understand why 

    she was leaving, 

    and I said, 
    Well, Mama, how 

    come you're going away? 

    She 
    said she 
    was going way 

    out to the country 

    to take care 
    of Grandmama 

    because 
    Grandmama 
    got real 
    sick all of 

    a sudden. 
    That made 
    her sad. 

    I 
    went 
    to the station 

    and I 
    waved my hand 
    bye -bye 

    Mama's 
    gone, 
    Mama's 
    gone 

    I 
    went 
    to the station 

    and I 
    waved my hand 
    bye -bye 

    Mama's gone, 
    Mama's 
    gone 

    Monday 
    went by, 

    Tuesday, 
    Wednesday, 
    Thursday, 

    Friday, Saturday, 
    Sunday 

    A 
    whole 
    week, 

    we 
    didn't hear a 
    word from Mama. 

    Verse 2
    Then 
    a whole other week 
    went by, 

    Verse 3
    still 
    didn't 
    hear a word from 
    Mama. 


    Then 
    one day, 
    Daddy came to 
    us 

    and he said, 
    come on kids, 

    we're all going 
    to the station. 

    Oh, we knew 
    what that meant. 

    We 
    all jumped in the car, 

    we drove down to 
    the station, 

    we got 
    there, 

    we ran 
    way out 
    onto the platform 


    and we leaned 
    over, 

    we looked 
    way 
    down the track. 


    We could barely 
    see the 
    train coming. 

    Smoke 
    was coming out 

    of the smokestack. 

    The whistle 
    on the train 
    started to blow, 


    and the whistle sounded 
    like this. 

    The 
    train starts 
    slowing down 

    as I pull 
    into 
    the station. 

    Hi 
    Mama!

      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

      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.
