  • Verse 1
    My 

    baby's 

    gone 
    and I don't know 
    why 

    She 
    let out 
    this morning 

    Like 
    a rusty 
    shot 
    in a hollow 
    sky 

    She 
    left me 
    without 
    warning 

    Sooner 
    than the 
    dogs could 
    bark 

    And 
    faster 
    than 
    the 
    sun 
    rose 

    Down 
    to 
    the banks 
    in an old mule 
    car 

    She took 
    flatboat 
    across 
    the 
    shallow 

    Left me 
    in my 
    tears 
    to 
    Verse 2
    drown 

    She 
    left 
    a baby 
    daughter 

    Now 
    the river's 
    wide 

    and deep and 
    brown 

    She's 
    crossing 
    muddy 
    waters 

    Verse 3

    Tobacco 
    standing 
    in 
    the 
    fields 

    Be 
    rotten 
    come November 

    And 
    a bitter 
    heart will 
    not reveal 

    spring 
    that love 
    re
    members 

    When that 
    sweet brown 
    girl 
    of mine 

    Her black 
    eyes 
    are 
    ravens 

    We broke the 
    bread 
    and drank the 
    wine 

    From 
    jug that 
    she'd been 
    saving 

    Left me 
    in my 
    tears 
    to 
    Verse 4
    drown 

    She 
    left 
    a baby 
    daughter 

    Now 
    the river's 
    wide 

    and deep and 
    brown 

    She's 
    crossing 
    muddy 
    waters 

    Verse 5


    Baby's 
    crying 
    and the daylight's 
    gone 

    That 
    big oak 
    tree 
    is 
    groaning 

    In 
    a rush 
    of wind 
    and 
    river 
    of 
    song 

    I can 
    hear my 
    true love 
    moaning 

    Crying 
    for 
    her baby 
    child 

    Or 
    crying 
    for 
    her 
    husband 

    Crying 
    for that 
    river's 
    wild 

    To 
    take 
    her from 
    her 
    loved 
    ones 

    Left me 
    in my 
    tears 
    Verse 6
    to 
    drown 

    She 
    left 
    a baby 
    daughter 

    Now 
    the river's 
    wide 

    and deep and 
    brown 

    And she's 
    crossing 
    muddy 
    waters 

    Verse 7
    Now 
    the river's 
    wide 

    and deep and 
    brown 

    And she's 
    crossing 
    muddy 
    waters

    • 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.
