  • Verse 1
    One 
    evening 
    of 
    late 
    as 

    happened 
    to stray 

    To the 
    County 
    Tip
    perary 

    I straight 
    took 
    my 
    way 

    To dig 
    the potatoes 
    and 
    work 
    by 
    the 
    day 

    for a 
    farmer 
    called 
    Darby 
    O'Leary. 

    Verse 2
    I asked 
    him how 
    far 
    we 

    were 
    bound 
    for 
    to go 

    The 
    night 
    being 
    dark 
    and 

    the cold 
    wind 
    did 
    blow 

    was hungry 
    and 
    tired 

    and my spirit
    were low 

    for I 
    got 
    neither 
    whis
    key 
    nor wa
    ter. 

    Verse 3
    The 
    dirty 
    old 
    miser 
    he 

    mounted 
    his steed 

    To the 
    Galbally mountains 
    he 

    rode 
    in 
    great 
    speed 

    I followed 
    behind 
    'til my 

    poor 
    feet 
    did 
    bleed 

    when 
    we 
    stopped 
    when 
    his 
    old 

    horse 
    was 
    weary. 

    Verse 4
    When we 
    came 
    to 
    his 
    cottage 
    entered 
    it first 

    it 
    seemed 
    like 
    a kennel 
    or 

    a ruined 
    old 
    church 

    Says 
    to myself 
    am 
    left 
    in 
    the lurch 

    in 
    the 
    house 
    of old 
    Darby 
    O'Leary 

    Verse 5
    well 
    recollect 
    it 
    was 
    Michalmass night 

    To a 
    hearty 
    good 
    sup
    per 

    he 
    did 
    me 
    invite 

    A cup 
    of sour 
    milk 
    that was 

    more 
    green 
    than 
    white 

    And it 
    gave 
    me 
    the trotting 
    dis
    order 

    Verse 6
    The 
    wet 
    old 
    potatoes 
    would 

    poison 
    the cats 

    And the 
    barn 
    where 
    my 
    bed 
    was 

    was swarming 
    with 
    rats 

    The 
    fleas 
    would have frightened 

    the fear
    less 
    St. 
    Pat 

    who 
    banished 
    the snakes 
    o'er 
    the 
    border. 

    Verse 7
    He 
    worked 
    me 
    by 
    day 
    and 
    he 

    worked 
    me by 
    night, 

    while he 
    held 
    an 
    old 
    candle 

    to give 
    me 
    some 
    light 

    wished 
    his 
    potatoes 
    would 

    die 
    of 
    the blight 

    or him
    self 
    would 
    go 
    off 
    with 
    the fairies. 

    Verse 8
    It was 
    on 
    this 
    old 
    miser 

    looked 
    with 
    a frown 

    When 
    the straw 
    was 
    brought 
    in 

    for 
    to make 
    my shakedown 

    And 
    I wished 
    had 
    never 

    seen 
    him 
    nor 
    his town 

    nor 
    the sky 
    above 
    Darby 
    O'Leary. 

    Verse 9
    I've 
    worked 
    in 
    Kilconnel, I've 

    worked 
    in 
    Killmore 

    worked 
    in 
    Knoockan

    nie and Shamballamore 

    In 
    Kalisanaker and 
    Sol
    lahed Moore 

    with farm
    ers 
    so 
    decent 
    and cheery. 

    Verse 10
    I've 
    worked 
    in 
    Tipper
    ary, 

    the 
    Rag 
    and Ross 
    Green 

    At the 
    mount 
    of 
    Killfegal, the Bridge 

    of 
    Orleans 

    But such 
    woeful 
    starvation 
    never 
    yet 
    seen 

    As I 
    got 
    from 
    old 
    Darby 
    O'Leary

    • 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.
