  • Verse 1
    The 

    year 
    old 
    painted 
    pallid 
    gray, 

    the storm 
    was coming 
    in

    Folks 
    were 
    lining 
    out 
    in all 
    dir
    ections. 

    Me 
    and 
    'Hord' and 
    Henry 
    Short 

    were pitch
    ing 
    on 
    the skiff, 

    Try
    ing 
    to make 
    it 
    home 
    be

    fore 
    the night 

    And the gray 
    waves 
    were 
    rolling. 

    Verse 2
    Bold 
    the brave, 
    brave 
    ocean 
    and 

    roll 
    the suckers 
    in

    Well 
    don't keep 
    to goings 
    on, 

    I tend 
    to stick 
    with 
    kin, 

    But Watson 
    had 
    it in 

    from 
    the 
    begin
    ning. 

    Verse 3
    Built 
    that 
    house 
    on 
    Chatham 
    bed, 

    wine 
    wash 
    knotted 
    pine. 

    Ninety 
    acres 
    'bur

    rowed' for 
    the cane 

    He drove 
    it 
    down 
    from 
    Geor
    gia, 

    His 
    dad 
    a martyred 
    sol
    dier 
    in the 

    war 
    between 
    the 
    states. 


    Verse 4
    Lord, 
    bring 
    down 
    the flood. 

    Wash 
    away 
    the blood. 
    Drown 
    these 
    ever
    glades, 

    and put 
    us 
    in 
    our 
    place. 

    We 
    laid 
    Edgar 
    Watson 
    in 
    his 
    grave. 

    We 
    laid 
    him in his 
    grave. 

    Verse 5

    'Till 
    I'm 
    dust 
    I'll 
    never 
    know 

    why 
    he 
    came 
    ashore, 

    With 
    all 
    those 
    killers 
    gathered 

    on 
    the shoreline. 

    Kicking 
    holes 
    in ugly 
    mud, 

    trig
    ger 
    fingers 
    pinched, 

    Brace 
    your rifles, 
    bristled 
    in 
    the wind. 

    And 
    we towed 
    his 
    body 
    north
    bound, 

    Buried 
    him 
    all 
    face 
    down 
    with 

    a good 
    view 
    into 
    Hell. 


    Verse 6
    Lord, 
    bring 
    down 
    down 
    the flood. 

    Wash 
    away 
    the 
    blood. 

    Drown 
    these 

    Everglades, 
    put 
    us 
    in our 
    place. 

    We laid 
    Edgar 
    Watson 
    in his 
    grave. 

    We laid 
    him in 
    his 
    grave. 

    We laid 
    him in 
    his 
    grave. 

    We laid 
    him in 
    his 
    grave.

    • 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.
